mikerhyl SUBS 27th May 2023		78 RPM Petula Clark - The Pendulum Song / Romance In Rome (1955)	Doesn’t seem “unbreakable “ to me but arrived in one piece safely from America !
mikerhyl SUBS 12th May 2023		78 RPM Petula Clark - The Pendulum Song / Romance In Rome (1955)	Finally just bought this 78 from America.
mikerhyl SUBS 7th Mar 2023		78 RPM Petula Clark - Meet Me In Battersea Park / A Long Way To Go (1954)	I really wonder if Petula didn’t help her father write the A side as she helped Joe”Mr Piano” Henderson with the B side
mikerhyl SUBS 7th Mar 2023		78 RPM Dickie Valentine - It's My Life / Get Well Soon (1954)	Petula Clark sang “Get well soon “ on BBC Radio a month later15/8/54 ..she was a friend of Dickie. Petula’s version only appeared on a 78RPM acetate and only decades later was made available on cd and download
mikerhyl SUBS 1st Mar 2023		78 RPM Petula Clark - Silver Dollar / Talky, Talky, Talky (1951)	Third pressing added
mikerhyl SUBS 24th Feb 2023		78 RPM Joe "Mr. Piano" Henderson And Friends - Sing It With Joe (Part 1) / Sing It With Joe (Part 2) (1955)	@ slholzer Around this time Joe and Petula were working with the Radio Revellers on Polygon who were probably on this recording too
mikerhyl SUBS 30th Sep 2021		78 RPM Petula Clark - Christopher Robin At Buckingham Palace (They're Changing Guard At Buckingham Palace) / Three Little Kittens (1953)	No it’s the original recording 1953 but some idiot on Youtube decided to use a photo of her from the 21st century!
mikerhyl SUBS 12th Jun 2021		78 RPM Petula Clark - Fortune Teller / Teenage Love (1956)	No problem..certainly an interesting find for my Petula collection
mikerhyl SUBS 4th Jun 2021		78 RPM Petula Clark - Silver Dollar / Talky, Talky, Talky (1951)	Petula sang this song as part of a hits medley in Denmark in 1960 so it must have made an impact there ..just added alternative label design pressing .probably the red label was the first pressing
mikerhyl SUBS 3rd Mar 2021		78 RPM Petula Clark - Fortune Teller / Teenage Love (1956)	According to the seller this used to be in the collection of the late British singer Lita Roza
mikerhyl SUBS 9th Nov 2019		78 RPM Petula Clark - The Little Shoemaker (Le Petit Condonnier) / Helpless (1954)	This was Petula’s first number one record

mikerhyl SUBS 26th Feb 2019		78 RPM Petula Clark - The Pendulum Song / Crazy Otto Rag (1955)	This charted in Australia in October 1955 reaching number 6
mikerhyl SUBS 30th Dec 2018		78 RPM Petula Clark - Fly Away Peter, Fly Away Paul / Who Spilt The Coffee On The Carpet (1950)	Same as the Danish release "Fly Away" UPC 2435 / "Who Spilt ..." UPC 2437, released on Melodi E-5002.
mikerhyl SUBS 21st Dec 2018		78 RPM Petula Clark - Fly Away Peter, Fly Away Paul / Who Spilt The Coffee On The Carpet (1950)	So heartbreaking when such a rare find arrives broken, but nice to have in my collection... . My copy says, "Sample pressing for “Who spilt the coffee on the carpet“."
mikerhyl SUBS 26th Jul 2017		78 RPM Petula Clark - Alone / A Million Stars Above (1957)	Interesting that the Netherlands chose a different B side than the UK!
mikerhyl SUBS 10th Feb 2017		78 RPM Petula Clark - Petula Clark Gift Album (1953)	I would think it does so collectors know about it, and it's an unusual concept. However I don't think it's possible to add four tracks to this section.
mikerhyl SUBS 6th Feb 2017		78 RPM Petula Clark - Silver Dollar (1950)	Yes have had it a few years..some of the coating is starting to peel off with its age!
mikerhyl SUBS 6th Feb 2017		78 RPM Petula Clark - The Pendulum Song / Romance In Rome (1955)	Wonder if the 78 version ever got pressed. Perhaps they just took orders and there were not enough to warrant. I have both DJ and regular copies of the 45.
mikerhyl SUBS 6th Feb 2017		78 RPM Petula Clark - Doodle-oodle-day / Spring Song : End Title (1949)	The test pressing of this (which I just acquired from the USA) is, as far as I know, Petula's very first recorded test pressing.
mikerhyl SUBS 30th Jan 2017		78 RPM Petula Clark - Silver Dollar (1950)	12 inch one sided acetate
