Matthew Rose 2nd May 2021		Cylinder George Schweinfest - The Wren Polka (1889)	@Mike Gann I agree. For all we know, this cylinder recording could have sold for a lot more than the $1,500 it was listed for. I’ve seen North American Phonograph Company-era cylinders sell for well into the four-figures depending into their condition, so this likely was a higher end item in the Fall 2016 VRA.
Matthew Rose 20th Mar 2021		78 RPM The Diamonds - Little Darlin' / Faithful And True (1957)	For some reason, this seems to be one of the most common 1950s era 78s (along with “Too Much,” “Love Me Tender,” "Earth Angel," “Sh-Boom,” “Mr. Sandman,” “I'm in Love Again,” “My Prayer," The Stroll,” and “Chances Are”), as I constantly come across copies of it almost every time I go out looking for 78s.
Matthew Rose 14th Mar 2021		78 RPM Les Jérolas - Un Sourire Pour Noel / La Veillee Chez L'Pere Jos (1959)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 14th Mar 2021		78 RPM Jim Reeves - Partners / I'm Beginning To Forget You (1959)	[YouTube Video]

Matthew Rose 14th Mar 2021		78 RPM Jim Reeves - Billy Bayou / I'd Like To Be (1958)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 14th Mar 2021		78 RPM Jim Reeves - Billy Bayou / I'd Like To Be (1958)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 14th Mar 2021		78 RPM Jesse Belvin - Funny / Pledging My Love (1958)	[YouTube Video] A-side (could not find a recording of the B-side)
Matthew Rose 3rd Mar 2021		78 RPM Jim Lowe - Four Walls / Talkin' To The Blues (1957)	The "Talking To The Blues" side of this record was a bit of a stinker in my opinion.
Matthew Rose 18th Feb 2021		78 RPM Gene Vincent And His Blue Caps - Bluejean Bop / Who Slapped John (1956)	@make1968. My copy comes with the stock purple label. I bought my copy from Mack Stevens (a major collector of rock and roll 78s) a few weeks ago and he said that it was the only copy with "Jump Back Honey Jump Back" he ever came across.
Matthew Rose 12th Feb 2021		78 RPM The Coasters - Run Red Run / What About Us (1959)	Was this the last 78 issued by the Atco label?
Matthew Rose 30th Jan 2021		78 RPM Sarah Vaughan - Broken Hearted Melody / Misty (1959)	One of my favorites! I have been looking for a copy for 11 years.
Matthew Rose 30th Jan 2021		78 RPM Gene Vincent And His Blue Caps - Bluejean Bop / Who Slapped John (1956)	My copy has "Jump Back Honey Jump Back" on the A-side even though the numbers on the stamper are correct for "Who Slapped John."
Matthew Rose 28th Jan 2021		Edison Diamond Disc Betsy Lane Shepherd And Lewis James - London Bridge Is Falling Down (On The Isle Of Childhood Dreams) / Love Her By Radio (1922)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 11th Jan 2021		78 RPM Zeke Manners - Television / Ever Since Eve (1948)	This is an interesting record. I know that it was very topical in 1948, as that was when the number of TV sets in use in the US reached the one million mark.
Matthew Rose 10th Jan 2021		78 RPM Roger Miron - Il Doit Partir (He'll Have To Go) / C'est Toi (1960)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 9th Jan 2021		78 RPM Elvis Presley - One Night / I Got Stung (1958)	I noticed that the advertisement for this recording does not mention that is was issued as a 78. Maybe it was only available on 78 as a special order or for jukebox operators.
Matthew Rose 9th Jan 2021		78 RPM The Crew-Cuts - Hey, Stella! (Who Zat Down Your Cellar?) / Forever, My Darling (1958)	I could not find an actual image of this 78, but the image I added shows that it was released as both a 78 and a 45.
Matthew Rose 9th Jan 2021		78 RPM De Castro Sisters - What A Relief (Hoop Ah Hoop Ah, Bah Dah Dah) / You Take Care Of Me (I'll Take Care Of You) (1958)	I could not find an actual image of this 78, but the image I added shows that it was released as both a 78 and a 45.
Matthew Rose 9th Jan 2021		78 RPM Georgia Gibbs - Way Way Down / You're Doin' It (1958)	I could not find an actual image of this 78, but the image I added shows that it was released as both a 78 and a 45.
Matthew Rose 9th Jan 2021		78 RPM Lindsay Crosby - Friendship Ring / Why-Oh-You (Y.O.U.) (1958)	I could not find an actual image of this 78, but the image I added shows that it was released as both a 78 and a 45.
Matthew Rose 26th Dec 2020		Cylinder John York Atlee And Fred Gaisberg - Why Should I Keep From Whistling? (1893)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 26th Dec 2020		Cylinder Duffy And Imgrund's Fifth Regiment Band - The Beggar Student (1889)	[YouTube Video] The cylinder recording in this video might match up to this listing.
Matthew Rose 26th Dec 2020		Cylinder Duffy And Imgrund's Fifth Regiment Band - The Vienna Dudes March (1891)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 25th Dec 2020		78 RPM Cliff Richard And The Drifters - Move It / High Class Baby (1958)	Could this 78 have been released in the US as well? The reason I ask is because Capitol was still pressing 78s for certain artists such as Peggy Lee and Nat King Cole into the fall of 1958.
Matthew Rose 19th Dec 2020		78 RPM George Graham - Peculiar Experiences (1900)	Was this the last Berliner release in the US?
Matthew Rose 17th Dec 2020		78 RPM Lewis James - Scatter Your Smiles / Lay Me Down To Sleep In Carolina (1926)	[YouTube Video]
Matthew Rose 15th Dec 2020		78 RPM Rhythm Outlaws - Linda Sue / Outlaws Quickstep	I always wondered what year this 78 was released. My copy looks like a fairly late pressing, maybe late 1950s or early 1960s if I had to guess.
Matthew Rose 14th Dec 2020		78 RPM Della Reese - In The Still Of The Night / Kiss My Love Goodbye (1955)	Why did this 78 sell for $1,281?
Matthew Rose 14th Dec 2020		78 RPM Allan Jones - The Donkey Serenade / Giannina Mia (1938)	I was under the impression that this 78 was issued in early 1938. I could be wrong however. {Edited per DAHR data. Mod.}
