The Four Knights - I Love The Sunshine Of Your Smile / Walkin' And Whistlin' Blues (1951)
I've always liked this track too with its echo and sound effects. I reckon even Joe Meek would have been proud of this.

Miss Jessie Broughton And Stanley Kirkby - If You Were The Only Boy In The World And I Were The Only Girl / Another Little Drink Wouldn't Do Us Any Harm (1916)
Brown / gold labels added with clearer text - presumably a later issue than the blue label?

John Lee Hooker - Need Somebody / Too Much Boogie (1954)
@thebluesneverdie
Try as I might I still fail to see the point of uploading images of such bad quality as these.

Penny Nicholls - Love's A Gamble / I'm Saying A Prayer (1954)
Planet Records made a bid for the Woolworth's franchise for issuing "hits of the day" style records but lost out to Oriole who started their new label Embassy. As a result and soon after Planet folded.

Steve Stannard - Perfidia / Pepe (1961)
There's even a later 78 by Dennis Farnon BM 430 issued in 1964 - not yet listed.

But do these library recordings count as they were not readily available to the buying public.

The Supersonics - The Sheik Of Araby / New Guitar Boogie Shuffle (1953)
These instrumentals are really guitarist Billy Mure doing his take on Les Paul's multi-tracking and doing it very successfully too.

Joe "Mr. Piano" Henderson - If Only / Where There's You And Good Companions (1957)
Even though J Scott & J Fraser appeared in the film this is not a soundtrack recording but a studio cash-in version - engineered by Joe Meek.

Slim Whitman - Secret Love / Why (1954)
Gold label scans added which would have been the original issues

Alan Kent - Gina / More (1956)
This is a super record for its time with Alan K in fine voice and a great tune. Orchestration is helped along with an accordion. I reckon it could have been a hit on a major label but consigned to obscurity on rare Polydor.
Does anyone have any info on Alan or even a picture?

Lita Roza - (How Much Is) That Doggie In The Window / Tell Me We'll Meet Again (1953)
The true story is that Lita, after much protest, was coerced into recording this cover version of Patti Page by Decca and despite its success she vowed never to sing it again - and she didn't, bless her.

Max Bygraves - Fings Ain't Wot They Used To Be / When The Thrill Is Gone (1960)
According to my information the last Decca 78 was Bob Cort's Mule Skinner Blues on F 11256 also from 1960.

Joe "Mr Piano" Henderson And His Friends - Ask For Joe / Heart Of Gold (1956)
I always thought that Henderson's "friends" were people dragged in from the street as that's what they sound like on these singalong records. There are loads of these records and they are mostly terrible!
