mathewdh 14th Mar 2018		78 RPM Redd Harper - (We're A-Dancing) In The Old Red Barn Tonight / Unworthy (1948)	This label was owned by The Velvet Record Distribution Company. This label started around 1948 and released three 78 singles: #101, #201, and #301. I have all three and they are nothing special.
mathewdh 14th Mar 2018		78 RPM High Pockets Busse With The Frontiersmen - Tired Out From Cryin' / Tell Me	The Velvet Record Company was started by Dixie Earl Bryant to have only recordings of the songs written by her. By the end of 1955 she had 30 songs recorded and started releasing them in early 1956. The label codes for each side are for a particular song title. E-GAR-27 was also paired with E-GAR-30 on another 78 single. The highest numbered song I know of is E-GAR-34. The more famous version of "Tell Me" was done by Slim Whitman in 1956. It was a vanity label that never sold well. The songwriter died in 1981.
mathewdh 11th May 2016		78 RPM [no artist listed] - The Little Shoemaker / In The Chapel In The Moonlight (1954)	This is one of two Value labels that were part of the Broadway Music Company. Besides Broadway and Broadway Value, there also is Value Hit Parade Tunes. Both Value labels recycled music previously released on Broadway. The A side was originally released as Broadway 276 in 1954. A1 is Jack Richards. A2 is Nora Evans. The B side was originally released as Broadway 275 in 1954. B1 Is Duke Hazlett. B2 is Nora Evans.
