rhythmdog 25th May 2023		78 RPM Ike Turner, Carlson Oliver And Little Ann - Boxtop / Chalypso Love Cry (1958)	Posted this sad day after learning of the death of Tina Turner, RIP, Goddess! Your first record and likely your only appearance on this aged format, on your final day on Earth. Rock And Roll Heaven just got a whole lot more crowded today1 Her first appearance on record. Only on the top side. Also released as a 45.
rhythmdog 22nd May 2023		78 RPM Blind Boy Fuller - I'm A Rattlesnakin' Daddy / Rag, Mama, Rag (1947)	Reissue of Melotone 6-01-56
rhythmdog 22nd May 2023		78 RPM Yas Yas Girl And Her Jazz Boys - You Can't Have None Of That / I'd Rather Be Drunk (1947)	Reissue of Vocalion 05180
rhythmdog 21st May 2023		78 RPM Champion Jack Dupree - Angola Blues / Cabbage Greens No. 2 (1940)	Apparently, this is Champion Jack's second record, with the first being OKeh 05656 not yet in 78world
rhythmdog 21st May 2023		78 RPM J. B. Lenoir - I'm In Korea / Eisenhower Blues (1954)	So much for the First Amendment in those days.
rhythmdog 21st May 2023		78 RPM Pvt. Cecil Gant - Lightning Blues / Solitude (1945)	See release dating at Gilt-Edge 516
rhythmdog 21st May 2023		78 RPM The Mello-Moods - Where Are You (Now That I Need You) / How Could You? (1951)	This label is part of the Red Robin series. A brief stab at a label name, after which they changed to Red Robin. Then, to make things more confusing, they went back a number for the next release on the label...
rhythmdog 21st May 2023		78 RPM The Mello-Moods - I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night / And You Just Can't Go Through Life Alone (1952)	A rare 78. Image of the A side.
rhythmdog 20th May 2023		78 RPM Dick Lewis And His Harlem Rhythm Boys - Hurricane Boogie / Eight O' Clock Stomp (1947)	Also exists with the title "Hurricane Boogey"; different label style, orange label.
rhythmdog 16th May 2023		78 RPM The Cleo-Patrettes - Say Would You Babe / No Other Love (1953)	Although Disco-Files says 1954, the numbering suggests 1953.
rhythmdog 16th May 2023		78 RPM Frank Minion - Sweet Lorraine / How High The Moon (1954)	Images
rhythmdog 16th May 2023		78 RPM Campbell's Blue Notes - See See Rider / Layin' My Racket (1944)	Predates the drawing of Apollo. I would guess 751 and 752, and 351 and 352 all came out at the same time. All later Apollo 78's seem to have had the drawing of Apollo on them.
rhythmdog 14th May 2023		78 RPM Cherri Lynn - Baby I'm Gone / Wait (1954)	No images, but one sale. A side bootlegged on a 45 paired with A side of Apollo 456.
rhythmdog 13th May 2023		78 RPM The Larks - Honey In The Rock / Shadrack (1952)	Image
rhythmdog 13th May 2023		78 RPM The Rivals - Rival Blues / Don't Say Your Sorry Again (1950)	Images
rhythmdog 13th May 2023		78 RPM Savannah Churchill With The Striders - Once There Lived A Fool / When You Came Back To Me (1951)	Also put out on 45 with catalog # 468
rhythmdog 13th May 2023		78 RPM The Striders - Five O'Clock Blues / Cool Saturday Night (1950)	Note these are the same group as on Capitol and also who backed Bette McLaurin and Savannah Churchill at times.
rhythmdog 11th May 2023		78 RPM Four Brothers And A Cousin - Whispering Wind / Can It Be (1954)	One recorded sale for $2100
rhythmdog 1st May 2023		78 RPM Que Martin's Orchestra - I Couldn't Stay Away / Your Money Ain't Long Enough (1955)	Images here Que Martin seems to have had connections in both the Los Angeles and San Francisco areas.
rhythmdog 1st May 2023		78 RPM Chick Morris - Suspense Song / Go To Bed With A Worry	In the absence of further information, based on a listen, this would be late 40's/early 50's, likely before the Music City label was founded nearby.
rhythmdog 6th Apr 2023		78 RPM Art Shelton's Orch. - You Thrill Me So / Dynaflow (1953)	I don't know about that, Mike. According to Lou Silvani (and admittedly, he had both a wrong record number and misspelled the name of the orchestra) - the singers on the record included "Lester Gardner (lead), Lowe Murray (1st tenor), Cecil Holmes (2nd tenor and baritone), and Ron Anderson (bass). All except Gardner became members of the Fi-Tones." This is more or less backed up by the line-up in Disco-Files 6th Ed.: "Ronald Anderson, Lester Gardner, Cecil Holmes, Marlowe Murray, Leroy Randolph". (All except Gardner listed as members at one point or another of the Fi-Tones). Looks like the only argument would be whether or not Leroy Randolph sang on the record. And checking further, maybe he was only on the "Dynaflow" side - instead of Lester Gardner (who isn't named on that side, just "Caverliers Quartet")
rhythmdog 5th Apr 2023		78 RPM Art Shelton's Orch. - You Thrill Me So / Dynaflow (1953)	Very rare and no images available. A bootleg 45 with an incorrect record number was made of this, see
rhythmdog 30th Mar 2023		78 RPM Robert Byrd - Bippin' An' Boppin' (Over You) / Strawberry Stomp (1957)	Tiny images
rhythmdog 23rd Mar 2023		78 RPM The Clovers - Devil Or Angel / To The Aisle	Images here
rhythmdog 23rd Mar 2023		78 RPM Ray Charles - Hallelujah I Love Her So / Devil Or Angel	Red wax. Pictures here
rhythmdog 18th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Feathers - Why Don't You Write Me / Busy As A Bumble Bee (1955)	The B side was replaced on 45 with "Where Did Caledonia Go" by The Five Stars [L.A.]. Unknown whether that version also exists on 78. This is the first release of the song "Why Don't You Write Me" - The Jacks' version won out with the public, probably at least partially due to stronger promotion from the Biharis.
rhythmdog 18th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Five Stars [L.A.] - Walkin' An' Talkin' / Where Did Caledonia Go (1954)	A Side: Vocal Solo Walter Robinson B Side: Vocal Solo Jimmy Huff
rhythmdog 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Charmers - He's Gone / Oh! Yes (1957)	On the US release, the A side was "Oh! Yes".
rhythmdog 16th Mar 2023		78 RPM Hayden Thompson - Love My Baby / One Broken Heart (1957)	Despite the US release of this occurring in September 1957, the numbering on Quality seems to argue for a November Canadian release.
rhythmdog 12th Mar 2023		78 RPM Sam Johnson - (There Ought To Be A) Moonlight Saving Time / Some Of These Days (1931)	Entered in the database on the night of Daylight Savings Time
