Mr. Medisterpolse 4th Dec 2024		78 RPM Richard Kauhi's Quartette - Moana / I'll Roam The Isles For You	Also issued with Tahitian Lullaby as A side.
Mr. Medisterpolse 24th Sep 2024		78 RPM Toralf Tollefsen - The Cuckoo Waltz (Gjøkvalsen) / Black Masks Waltz (Lørdagsvalsen) (1947)	It looks like Tollefson’s recording was made in London on 31 March 1947, and released that May in Norway with the Lørdagsvalsen title. Two years later, Columbia decided to release it in Britain and the United States as Black Masks. Perhaps with the delay, the Columbia people assumed Svarta Masken was an alternative title and used it instead. Makes sense, Black Masquerade Ball on Saturday? Novel name, increased sales? Here's SMDB: https://smdb.kb.se/catalog/search?q=svarta+masken+year%3A1940-1949 In Scotland, the tune Lørdagsvalsen is widely known as Black Mask Waltz. Was Tollefson’s recording wildly popular there, or did someone else have a successful local recording of the song?
Mr. Medisterpolse 20th Jun 2024		78 RPM Pepik Mach: Jeho Kralova Cardasova Orchestra - Old Country Czardases (Part 1) / Old Country Czardases (Part 2) (1948)	Matrices are A: W-3718, B: W-3720
Mr. Medisterpolse 20th Jun 2024		78 RPM Pepik Mach: Jeho Kralova Cardasova Orchestra - Slovak Czardas Medley (Part 1) / Slovak Czardas Medley (Part 2) (1948)	Matrices are A: W-3713, B: W-3715
Mr. Medisterpolse 24th Oct 2022		78 RPM Joe Patek Orchestra Of Shiner, Texas - Nas Maty / Andulka Verna (1949)	My copy of this record is mislabeled as Andulka Verna. Song is actually Orphan Waltz (Sirotek) and wax of ACA-1402 matches the song. Not sure if this carried over to Humming Bird 119.
Mr. Medisterpolse 30th Aug 2022		78 RPM Mosebuebe - Gletscherwasser (Glacierwater) / Bon Voyage	The Moser Brothers made some Moser Tone records in LA probably in the late 1930s, and then issued some 25th anniversary Moser Tones in 1945. All the issues I've found have different numbers on either side. The numbers on this record align with both the 1930s issues (RR 9614, 9615, 9616, 9618) AND the 1945 issues (RR 12227, 12290, 12367, 12371). So this is possibly a 1940s reissue of two of their 1930s sides. I have posted two of their Victor sides and did a bit of research which is written up on the posts: Rigilied: https://youtu.be/fnFvDQrj_9U 'S Berner Oberland: https://youtu.be/b9vFkC2lrCM
Mr. Medisterpolse 27th Jul 2022		78 RPM Louie And His Old Time Band - Herr Schmidt / Pepita	Actually record number should be M 5004. The matrix is APP-28, which is used for the issue of the same sides on Humming Bird 167 (see 45 listing). [Mod comment. Edited.]
Mr. Medisterpolse 27th Jul 2022		78 RPM Louie And His Old Time Band - Ten Pretty Girls / Little Brown Jug	Actually record number should be M 5003. The matrix is APP-25. That is the matrix system for this artist's issues of the same sides on Humming Bird. [Mod. comment. Edited.]
Mr. Medisterpolse 14th May 2021		78 RPM Rudy Kurtz Orchestra - German Hearts Waltz / Beer Barrel Polka	Side A is "German Hearts Waltz" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yd2dIjAG_Ig&ab_channel=elwestsidesound
Mr. Medisterpolse 9th Feb 2021		78 RPM Die Fidelen Inntaler - Auerosen-Walzer / Liebling Tanz Mit Mir	Side A is 'Almrosen' (See label on Discogs), both sides also released as Decca 27469.
Mr. Medisterpolse 27th Feb 2020		78 RPM Smokey Stover - What A Shame / Because I Loved Her So (1953)	New link for Stover on Praguefrank: http://countrydiscoghraphy2.blogspot.com/search/label/Stover%20Smokey
Mr. Medisterpolse 14th Aug 2019		78 RPM Johnny Eager And His Eager Beavers - You, You, You Are The One / Tallulah Polka (1948)	I believe this Grand label is not part of the others it is grouped with. This Grand is somehow connected with the Standard International label which issued ethnic and folk dance music in the 40s and 50s. Another Grand issue, by the Barry Sisters (G-25008), was also issued on Standard (T-2013).
