mister_tmg 23rd May 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Puppet On A String / Wooden Heart (1966)	That would make it the last confirmed release of a UK #1 on 78rpm.
mister_tmg 17th May 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Get Back / Across The Universe	Well spotted, I requested that the label be changed on these releases.[Now done. Mod.]
mister_tmg 14th May 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Hello Goodbye / The Long And Winding Road	Probably, yes. UK is the better option. [Country changed from USA to UK. mod]
mister_tmg 6th Apr 2023		78 RPM Ken Griffin - The Griffin Blues / Apple Blossom Wedding (1947)	The b-side wasn't published until 1947, so I suspect the year of release may not be 1946.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - The Ballad Of John And Yoko / Don't Let Me Down	Bootleg?
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - The Ballad Of John And Yoko	Images here.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Get Back / Across The Universe	Probably a bootleg? See link.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Hey Jude / Across The Universe	Popsike link
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - The Fool On The Hill / Hey Jude	Another dubious re-issue, see here.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Lady Madonna / The Inner Light (1968)	The Dave Clark Five and The Tornados were on 78. For the rest, nothing (original) comes up when searching on Popsike. It's funny that The Beatles were prolific on 78, but the Rolling Stones had nothing on that format.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour / Back In The U.S.S.R.	Bootleg? I think the series may actually be British rather than American, probably trying to emulate the Cruisin' the 50s series.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Hello Goodbye / The Long And Winding Road	Bootleg?
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - When I'm Sixty Four / Strawberry Fields Forever	Bootleg? See link. Also another coupling of Strawberry Fields Forever and All You Need is Love here.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Hello Goodbye / I Am The Walrus (1967)	Penny Lane acetate here?
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Day Tripper / Paperback Writer	I suspect this series is made up of bootlegs, as I doubt The Beatles or the Rolling Stones would have licensed their material for it. See also this, this, this and this. I can't make out the catalogue numbers.
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM Manfred Mann - Come Tomorrow / What Did I Do Wrong? (1965)	This is the only 78 by them on Popsike. But who knows, it may be yet to turn up!
mister_tmg 17th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Ticket To Ride / Yes It Is (1965)	78rpm-maniac, the Dave Clark Five 78 you were bidding on appears to be Can't You See That She's Mine.
mister_tmg 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Beatles - Twist And Shout / Do You Want To Know A Secret? (1963)	No sign of the hit Billy J. Kramer version of the B-side on 78. It seems that most of the groups of the time didn't have releases on international 78s. The Beatles were the exception.
mister_tmg 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Shadows - Foot Tapper / The Breeze And I (1963)	Surprisingly no sign of their chart-topper Wonderful Land on 78.
mister_tmg 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Crickets - Peggy Sue Got Married / Don't Cha Know	The label ought to be cropped, but probably no point with an image that size... it would be tiny, and at least you can view it in the original sleeve.
mister_tmg 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM Bobby Vee - Take Good Care Of My Baby / A Hundred Pounds Of Clay	Reproduction 78, part of a boxset: see here.
mister_tmg 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM Shirley Bassey - Count On Me / If You Love Me (1959)	Surprising this seems to be her only SA 78. No sign of the UK #1 Reach For the Stars / Climb Ev'ry Mountain, though it only reached #1 on Record Retailer's chart.
mister_tmg 15th Mar 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Puppet On A String / Wooden Heart (1966)	Would this really have been released five years after its initial success in India?
mister_tmg 15th Mar 2023		78 RPM Lolita - La Luna (Quando La Luna) / Sailor (Your Home Is The Sea) (1960)	Petula Clark's version of this song appears to be the first UK #1 which cannot be found on 78rpm format from any country. The Anne Shelton version was on a South African 78.
mister_tmg 14th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Everly Brothers - Cathy's Clown / Always It's You (1960)	I think this was probably the last UK no1 which was issued on 78 - there’s no evidence that any after this one actually exist as 78s.
mister_tmg 9th Mar 2023		78 RPM Ruth Etting - Take My Heart	Yes, different takes.
mister_tmg 12th Feb 2023		78 RPM Joe Bari And Pat Easton - Vieni Qui (Come To Me) / Fascinating Rhythm (1949)	Yes. See https://www.45worlds.com/cdalbum/cd/col4771702
mister_tmg 9th Feb 2023		78 RPM The B.B.C. Dance Orchestra Directed By Henry Hall - The Santa Claus Express / I'm Going Home For Christmas (1935)	[YouTube Video]
mister_tmg 9th Feb 2023		78 RPM Joe Bari And Pat Easton - Vieni Qui (Come To Me) / Fascinating Rhythm (1949)	@SeverlyWarpedRecord. You wrote "I never thought of him as an icon with records worth $1000s". Well, this is just one record - not records, plural. I'm not aware of others. I would imagine Tony Bennett's records aren't collectable on the whole, but this is a rather special case, it being his first record and incredibly rare. I'd be interested to hear the story from bilbowman99 that he mentioned, if he sees this. @slholzer. Interesting observations. I suppose it has a lot to do with musical snobbery. Pre-rock music is so unfashionable, and Tony is clearly embarrassed by his early recordings. The line between what is jazz and what isn't can be hard to fathom. Jazz has a certain respectability not conferred on a 'ballad singer'. Look at Tony's Columbia contemporaries from the 1950s. The only other male singer at the label I can think of who lasted was Johnny Mathis, who fitted into the 'easy listening' mould for older audiences. Tony and his team evidently wanted to relaunch his career in the 1990s by having him appear on MTV, and more recently working with the likes of Lady Gaga. It kept him 'relevant' but aside from any artistic integrity, was probably good for the bottom line: it maintained his career and, thus, profitability.
mister_tmg 31st Jan 2023		78 RPM Rikki Henderson - There's A Gold Mine In The Sky / All At Once You Love Her (1957)	"All At Once You Love Her" was reported to be Rikki's first record. According to a contemporary item in the press, it had sold 90,000 copies in its first fortnight on sale, which gives some idea of how successful Embassy releases were. See article.
