mister_tmg 17th Nov 2024		78 RPM Steve Conway - My Thanks To You / My Foolish Heart (1950)	I have a copy of this with silver lettering.
mister_tmg 24th Oct 2024		78 RPM Noel Coward - A Room With A View / Mad Dogs And Englishmen (1954)	What was this Philips series? I’m wondering why these 78s weren’t issued in the PB blue label series.
mister_tmg 20th Oct 2024		78 RPM Vera Lynn And Frank Weir And His Saxophone - My Son, My Son / Our Heaven On Earth (1954)	Shouldn’t the artist be “Vera Lynn and Frank Weir”? The wording being in the same size typeface and on the same line suggests a collaboration, rather than just Vera with Frank accompanying. A bit like David Whitfield with Mantovani on Cara Mia - same size typeface. Or am I reading too much into the label design and layout?
mister_tmg 14th Oct 2024		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - A Mess Of Blues / The Girl Of My Best Friend (1960)	I wasn’t aware it was ever advertised.
mister_tmg 19th Sep 2024		78 RPM Cliff Richard And The Drifters - Breathless / Lawdy Miss Clawdy (1998)	I assume this was legitimate and licensed from EMI - but I can’t see anything about it on the record. It’s currently on eBay.
mister_tmg 12th Sep 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - From Me To You / I Saw Her Standing There (1963)	So if this was a release taken from an EP, might that be why there was another issue of both sides in the Philippines with different couplings?
mister_tmg 10th Sep 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper (1965)	Ah, I think the problem is that I was searching for “Beatles day tripper 78” which fails to bring up listings with the term “78rpm”. I’ll have to try searching with that term too. Thanks for the links. I added links to all my valuations too, but they get removed for some reason. I’m not sure I would interpret Fair as being equal to VG. I assume that is based on the description and images.
mister_tmg 8th Sep 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper (1965)	Can you share a link? I can’t see it on Popsike.
mister_tmg 6th Sep 2024		78 RPM Cliff Richard - The Minute You're Gone / Just Another Guy (1965)	Sold in 2005 for $163 / £136, described as “EX- to VG++”.
mister_tmg 5th Sep 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - We Can Work It Out / Day Tripper (1965)	I can only see one copy having sold on eBay, based on Popsike listings. I’ve added it to the Valuations.
mister_tmg 31st Aug 2024		78 RPM Harry James - Moonlight Becomes You / I've Heard That Song Before (1942)	Neither side seems to have been released in the UK. Rather unusual for a US #1?
mister_tmg 28th Aug 2024		78 RPM Guy Mitchell - Walkin' And Wond'rin (My Heart Cries Out In Vain) / I Want You For A Sunbeam (1953)	I’m not Mike!
mister_tmg 25th Aug 2024		78 RPM Guy Mitchell - Walkin' And Wond'rin (My Heart Cries Out In Vain) / I Want You For A Sunbeam (1953)	On disc? Which program did you use?
mister_tmg 22nd Aug 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - She Loves You / I'll Get You (1963)	A promotional version sold on eBay back in 2004, but the description sounds like a stock copy with ‘SAMPLE RECORD NOT FOR SALE’ stamped on it. The labels are quite probably the same as the stock versions.
mister_tmg 22nd Aug 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - From Me To You / I Saw Her Standing There (1963)	Can you add a picture of it to this site please? It isn’t known to exist.
mister_tmg 20th Aug 2024		78 RPM Frankie Ford - Sea Cruise / Roberta (1959)	In the UK? It didn’t chart.
mister_tmg 20th Aug 2024		78 RPM Elvis Presley - (Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame / Little Sister (1961)	There seem to be several pressings of Little Sister with different flip sides. Bootlegs? https://www.popsike.com/ELVIS-PRESLEY-VINYL-78-LITTLE-SISTER-THE-GIRL-OF-MY-BEST-FRIEND-EX-COND/334267004254.html Another version: https://www.popsike.com/ELVIS-PRESLEY-VINYL-78-RPM-THE-GIRL-OF-MY-BEST-FRIEND-LITTLE-SISTER-N-MINT/221966117839.html https://www.popsike.com/ELVIS-PRESLEY-VINYL-78-RPM-LITTLE-SISTER-THE-LAST-FAREWELL-NEAR-MINT-COND/331510972480.html https://www.popsike.com/ELVIS-PRESLEY-VINYL-78-RPM-LITTLE-SISTER-SUSPICION-MINT/331486644408.html https://www.popsike.com/ELVIS-PRESLEY-VINYL-78-RPM-LITTLE-SISTER-SUSPICION-MINT/331459056812.html As above.
mister_tmg 19th Aug 2024		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Surrender / Lonely Man (1961)	Promotional version
mister_tmg 18th Aug 2024		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Puppet On A String / Wooden Heart (1966)	The label images on Discogs do indeed show a publication date of 1966.
mister_tmg 18th Aug 2024		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Wooden Heart / G. I. Blues (1961)	Discogs shows a New Zealand issue of this 78, but the label looks the same as this South African one. I suspect that’s what it is. The last NZ 78s on RCA listed on this site are from 1958, several years before this.
mister_tmg 15th Aug 2024		78 RPM The Marcels - Blue Moon / Good Bye To Love (1961)	I’ve added it.
mister_tmg 14th Aug 2024		78 RPM The Marcels - Blue Moon / Good Bye To Love (1961)	There is also another pressing on Continental, seemingly a subsidiary of Colpix. See https://www.discogs.com/release/26517686-The-Marcels-Blue-Moon-Goodbye-To-Love Does it need adding separately?
mister_tmg 14th Aug 2024		78 RPM The Marcels - Blue Moon / Goodbye To Love	Just saw this on Discogs, I assumed it can’t have been real! https://www.discogs.com/release/31242274-The-Marcels-Blue-Moon-Goodbye-To-Love
mister_tmg 14th Aug 2024		78 RPM Ricky Valance - Tell Laura I Love Her / Once Upon A Time (1960)	Sold for £27 in 2018, no grading given.
mister_tmg 13th Aug 2024		78 RPM Cliff Richard And The Shadows - I'm Lookin' Out The Window / Do You Want To Dance (1962)	Sold for £134/$160 in 2012.
mister_tmg 13th Aug 2024		78 RPM Cliff Richard And The Drifters - Move It / Cha Cha Momma Brown (1959)	A cha cha version of Knees Up Mother Brown no less!
mister_tmg 13th Aug 2024		78 RPM Cliff Richard And The Shadows - Don't Be Mad At Me / Willie And The Hand Jive (1960)	Not sure why Willie And The Hand Jive was issued on two consecutive Cliff Richard 78s in Turkey. Perhaps the previous one was withdrawn?
mister_tmg 13th Aug 2024		78 RPM Cliff Richard And The Shadows - Lessons In Love / Who Are We To Say? (1962)	B-side label image
mister_tmg 13th Aug 2024		78 RPM Cliff Richard - When The Girl In Your Arms Is The Girl In Your Heart / Got A Funny Feeling (1961)	A-side label image
mister_tmg 13th Aug 2024		78 RPM Johnny Kidd And The Pirates - Shakin' All Over / Yes Sir That's My Baby (1960)	This 2018 auction is described as a “promo”, but it looks the same as the stock issue to me. Maybe it’s called a “promo” because of the sticker on it - a stock copy with a promotional sticker put on?
