rhythmdog 13th Sep 2023		78 RPM Leon Payne - Pedro The Hot Tamale Man / The Story Of Tamales Like Pedro Used To Make (1954)	Advertising for canned tamales from Austin, Texas
rhythmdog 9th Sep 2023		78 RPM Charlie Singleton Orchestra - Shim Sham Shimmy (1956)	Image
rhythmdog 9th Sep 2023		78 RPM Charlie Singleton - Cry / Swinging Away (1952)	Note that this 78 was bootlegged as a 45 with record number 7003, but documented (unfortunately without any images) as 1003.
rhythmdog 9th Sep 2023		78 RPM Charlie Singleton - Never Trust A Woman / Earthquake (1951)	No documented sales
rhythmdog 8th Sep 2023		78 RPM The Six Teens - My Surprise / Baby You're Dynamite (1957)	Images
rhythmdog 8th Sep 2023		78 RPM Bob Mosley - Apollo Presents Bob Mosley Boogie Woogie (1946)	I have to say, it doesn't matter one whit to me whether the term was in use at the time of release. It is far more germane how it is used today! To call it "Jazz" is to misdirect the modern purveyor of the music in a direction away from the actual style of the music, which is detrimental to the usage of the site by today's interested parties.
rhythmdog 7th Sep 2023		78 RPM Hank Dalton And The Brakemen - Hummingbird Special / Little Girl, You're Mean To Me (1950)	Both Wayne Raney and The Delmore Bothers were under contract to King at the time of this release. Likely why pseudonyms were used.
rhythmdog 25th Aug 2023		78 RPM Ray Charles - Hallelujah I Love Her So / Devil Or Angel	I don't know for certain, dewey70, but most turntables capable of playing 78's are fitted with a cartridge which will accept a 78 stylus, and it would be a bit awry for Rhino to issue special "jukebox" 78's that wouldn't be playable on a 78 jukebox.
rhythmdog 24th Aug 2023		78 RPM The Neons - Angel Face / Kiss Me Quickly (1956)	Also exists on a yellow label 78.
rhythmdog 24th Aug 2023		78 RPM Jimmy Crawford With Frank Motley (Duel Trumpeter) And His Crew - Heavy Weight Baby / Frantic (1953)	Image
rhythmdog 30th Jun 2023		78 RPM Selah Jubilee Singers - Eyes On The Sparrow / Down At The Cross	Both sides: "Arr. T. Ruth". The Truth label was Rev. Thurman Ruth's own label. T.Ruth.
rhythmdog 27th Jun 2023		78 RPM Bob Mosley - Apollo Presents Bob Mosley Boogie Woogie (1946)	Images of each of the 78's are available at their listings for Apollo 1001, 1002, 1003
rhythmdog 22nd Jun 2023		78 RPM The 4 Fellows - Break My Bones / Stop Crying (1953)	Not the same group as The Four Fellows- this group has some connections to The Toppers. See Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebooks - "The (Other) 4 Fellows". Images courtesy of 45cat member Lou's rare records Group members also sang with The Clefftones on Old Town, and The Victorians.
rhythmdog 14th Jun 2023		78 RPM Robert Byrd - Bippin And Boppin (Over You) / Strawberry Stomp (1957)	This is Bobby Day.
rhythmdog 6th Jun 2023		78 RPM Lee Andrews And The Hearts - Maybe You'll Be There / Baby Come Back (1954)	This is the first release. It was later released on Riviera (probably only for the Boston market).
rhythmdog 6th Jun 2023		78 RPM Five Crowns - Ooo-Wee Baby / You Came To Me (1955)	The same two sides were put out a year later as by The Duvals
rhythmdog 5th Jun 2023		78 RPM The Love Notes - Get On My Train / Surrender Your Heart (1953)	The same group as the Love Notes on Riviera and Rainbow. Not the same group as on Holiday.
rhythmdog 3rd Jun 2023		78 RPM Jesse Belvin - Dream Girl / Hang Your Tears Out To Dry (1952)	Note this record, by record number, should have come out in 1950. However, it was definitely on the local charts in December of 1952 as noted in Cash Box. There's a story that Jesse Belvin was unhappy with Art Rupe and Specialty over "Dream Girl" which he had previously recorded with Marvin Phillips. The following is from Steve Propes' "L.A. R&B Vocal Groups, 1945-1965" Quote: From the Specialty files [for "Dream Girl"] comes this notation: "He didn't want to get tied up. Got salty when we didn't release 'Dream Girl'; went to Dolphin's and re-recorded it.": Jim Dawson puts the recording date as 1951. So perhaps one of two things - either it went down as Art Rupe said, or - Dolphin had previously recorded the sides but also had sat on them and Belvin convinced him to put it out. But why the very out-of-sequence record number? Knowing how John Dolphin operated, he might have been leery that Art Rupe actually had Belvin under contract, so perhaps he wanted to claim it was an old recording... At any rate, the record did make the local Cash Box territorial charts in December of 1952 no matter when it was recorded.
rhythmdog 3rd Jun 2023		78 RPM The Teen Kings - Trying To Get You / Ooby Dooby (1956)	There are two pressings of the 78. The earliest ones had Roy's name misspelled on the B side, just as on the 45's: "Vocal by Roy Oribson". Added an image of same. Will be adding better images soon of both sides. The A side title on the first press is "Trying To Get You" just the same as it is on the first press 45. Second presses of the 45 are just like the second presses of the 78, with a corrected A side title and a corrected B side credit to Orbison.
rhythmdog 3rd Jun 2023		78 RPM Billy Bland - Chicken Hop / Oh, You For Me (1956)	The blue label reissue would be 1958 at the earliest.
rhythmdog 3rd Jun 2023		78 RPM Katie Watkins - Trying To Get You Off My Mind / Snake Blues (1957)	The 45's all seem to be on the design with a vertical Checker.
rhythmdog 3rd Jun 2023		78 RPM Katie Watkins - Trying To Get You Off My Mind / Black Snake Blues (1957)	This original Detroit release was a Joe Von Battle release. Subsequently picked up by Chess and put out on their Checker subsidiary - with some changes in the artist credits.
rhythmdog 3rd Jun 2023		78 RPM Mad Milo - Elvis For Xmas / Happy New Year (1956)	The sampled songs are from 1956, so it would make sense for this to be a December 1956 effort. Only a few months after "The Flying Saucer"...
rhythmdog 3rd Jun 2023		78 RPM James Waynes - Gypsy Blues / Millionaire Blues (1950)	Tiny images
rhythmdog 2nd Jun 2023		78 RPM Ruth McFadden And The Supremes [Old Town] - Darling, Listen To The Words Of This Song / Since My Baby's Been Gone (1956)	Comes in two different label styles on both 45 and on 78.
rhythmdog 2nd Jun 2023		78 RPM The Solitaires - You've Sinned / The Angels Sang (1956)	Some early copies had the B side title "You're Back With Me". It is the same song and matrix number as "The Angels Sang"
rhythmdog 1st Jun 2023		78 RPM 5 Crowns - Lullaby Of The Bells / Later Later Baby (1954)	Interestingly, I have found other images of the record, which sold one other time - for the princely sum of $8.29! I kid you not. Those images will be coming shortly (I have to move them to my superior image editor on my inferior old XP machine, but will fix them shortly).
rhythmdog 1st Jun 2023		78 RPM The Solitaires - What Did She Say / My Dear (1955)	This is one of the most obscure Solitaires singles and yet one of the ones with the most alternate pressings, on both 45 and 78. Go figure.
rhythmdog 1st Jun 2023		78 RPM 5 Crowns - Lullaby Of The Bells / Later Later Baby (1954)	The only decent image around is at Discogs
rhythmdog 25th May 2023		78 RPM Miss Ada Jones And Mr. Len Spencer - Peaches And Cream / Poor John (1910)	Is this a cylinder or a 10"? Looks to be a cylinder to me?
