mister_tmg 10th Nov 2021		78 RPM Joe Brown - People Gotta Talk / Comes The Day (1959)	Thanks for confirming that Joe Brown did appear on 78rpm - aside from it being listed in a Decca discography, I couldn't find any proof of this record.

mister_tmg 26th Jun 2021		78 RPM The Stargazers - Broken Wings / Make It Soon (1953)	The Ballad Years by Don Wicks says the following: "In August 1952 The Stargazers made their variety debut with a week at Chatham Empire followed by weeks at Shepherd’s Bush and Wood Green Empires. Most years they would do a short tour around London’s music halls and on the 1953 summer season their closing number always brought the house down. Instead of singing they reverted to their original musical roles with Cliff Adams on trombone (also piano) Ronnie Milne and Bob Brown on trumpets, Freddy Datchler on clarinet with Marie Benson (just back from having a baby - Jean Campbell deputized while she was away) playing ukulele. The curtain always came down to thunderous applause. Reviews said that in an already excellent act this was the cream on top, with the whole team praised for superb stage-craft and a special mention for Marie’s sense of fun." So I'm wondering what the line-up was for this number 1 hit. If Marie Benson was pregnant in early 1953, she could have been replaced by Jean Campbell on the recording session? The recording was made on 6 January 1953, so perhaps Marie was still taking part in sessions at the time.
mister_tmg 16th Jun 2021		78 RPM Victor Silvester - Midnight In Peru / The Golden Tango (1953)	The February 1953 Columbia leaflet refers to the B-side as "Gold of the Incas-Tango".
mister_tmg 2nd Jun 2021		78 RPM The Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, M.P. - Side 1 / Side 2 (1952)	Currently on sale at eBay. From Mike Thomas's website: Based at 355, Hornsey Road, London, this was a private recording company formed in 1952 with no connection to the well-known commercial label above. The business was quite short-lived, having disappeared by late 1955. It was probably at that time that the company was bought up by EMI. They had the idea that they would use the Mercury studios for popular music recordings, maintaining the use of their Abbey Road studios for classical recordings only. However, this idea was dropped before anything actually happened, I believe, but I don't know what happened to Mercury's studios subsequently. "Beatles" expert, Mark Lewisohn has speculated that if EMI had followed throught with this project, the famous "Abbey Road" LP would have to have been called "Hornsey Road".
mister_tmg 29th May 2021		78 RPM Roy Fox - Roy Fox 1936 Hit Parade, Part 1 / Roy Fox 1936 Hit Parade, Part 2 (1936)	[YouTube Video]

mister_tmg 28th May 2021		78 RPM Roy Fox - The Star And The Rose / Quicker Than You Can Say Jack Robinson (1936)	A-side vocal is by Denny Dennis.
mister_tmg 28th May 2021		78 RPM Roy Fox - Mickey's Son And Daughter / It's My Mother's Birthday Today (1935)	Take 3 of "Mickey's Son and Daughter" is on my copy of the 78 (rather than take 4, which seems to be on some pressings, according to British Dance Bands on Record).
mister_tmg 28th May 2021		78 RPM Winifred Atwell - Port-Au-Prince / Startime (1956)	I actually played it to a friend just last week, after telling him that Winifred Atwell had a plaque unveiled recently. It is a good tune, more or less a collaboration with Frank Chacksfield, as Winnie usually played without accompaniment? I'm on board for the revival!
mister_tmg 27th May 2021		78 RPM Jack Hylton - Special Record for Sonia Henie	Not sure this can be described as 'Promo only'? Depends on the usage, maybe.
mister_tmg 20th May 2021		78 RPM Roy Fox - Accent On Youth / I Wish I Were Aladdin (1935)	B-side vocal by Mary Lee. She can be seen talking about joining the band here:[YouTube Video]
