Scratchy45 15th Nov 2020		78 RPM Mr. Tom Clare - Tom Clare's Version Of The Telephone / Winkelheimer's Motor Ride (1915)	Scans added, correction request queued. [Done! Mod.]
Scratchy45 15th Nov 2020		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - Prête Moi Ton Aide (1916)	Scan added. Plenty of scope for confusion here, it seems. The original French was translated into an English version " Lend me your aid" which was then translated into French once more. Kelly lists as the original "Fablesse de la râce humaine; inspirez-moi".. Later double-sided 1930s)issues were re-recorded electrically with additions. Plus ça change...
Scratchy45 14th Nov 2020		78 RPM New York Philharmonic Orchestra - "The Flying Dutchman" Overture (1926)	Released Dec 1925 or Jan 1926 (D1057 is Jan 1926)
Scratchy45 14th Nov 2020		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - Salut Demeure (1906)	Thank you Mike Gann - hadn't noticed the Caruso discography before. possibly more to add from some mixed albums of His Master's Voice issues which include quite a few single-sided issues.
Scratchy45 14th Nov 2020		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - Salut Demeure (1906)	Kelly's says recorded 1906. Original issue sports a pinkish label, as opposed to the red of the issue I've just added.. [Edit: I gather "pinks" indicated issues in the celebrity series, some originally as "Gramophone Monarch" then with a more familiar-looking early "dog" label.]
Scratchy45 30th Oct 2020		78 RPM Monsieur Vaissade - Griserie / Parisette (1928)	According to this article and the 20-volume collection it's reviewing , the material on this disc was from the first sessions ever recorded by a then eighteen-year-old Django Reinhardt.
Scratchy45 28th Oct 2020		78 RPM Uppingham School Choir - Football Song / Borth Song (1953)	Have not played this but remained idly curious as to what the "Borth Song". might be: .Wikipedia entry for town of Borth gives some idea why such a thing should exist.
Scratchy45 26th Oct 2020		78 RPM Geraldine Farrar And Antonio Scotti - Contes D'Hoffman-Barcarole (Oh, Night Of Love) (1909)	Later design label added.
Scratchy45 26th Oct 2020		78 RPM Signor E. Caruso - Cavalleria Rusticana: Siciliana (1910)	Image added from later issue with scarlet label. Artist name title no longer abbreviated - now Signor.
Scratchy45 25th Oct 2020		78 RPM Black Diamonds Band - Haste To The Wedding / The Mary And Dorothy (1922)	Thanks scrough - I did download the software but forgot about it as I hadn't used it for some months. Could see it was 1922 or 1923 from British library HMV catalogues.
Scratchy45 25th Oct 2020		78 RPM Black Diamonds Band - Haste To The Wedding / The Mary And Dorothy (1922)	Recorded 21-6-1922 according to Kelly's Blue ink-stamp on label lost in black of label above gramophone horn ends with T or P followed by "ART SALE." so far as I can make it out.
Scratchy45 22nd Oct 2020		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - Serenade De Don Juan (1914)	I'll see if I can manipulate the scan a bit - my scanner doesn't like certain colours.
Scratchy45 22nd Oct 2020		78 RPM Philharmonic String Quartet - Quartet In D Major (Slow Movement) / Minuet (1920)	For both sides, recording date 1915-07-12 (american notation, info from Kelly online database)
Scratchy45 21st Oct 2020		78 RPM Mr. John McCormack And Mr. Reinald Werrenrath - The Moon Hath Raised Her Lamp Above (1915)	Somewhat blurry I'm afraid, but label scan added for alternate bright-red label with Angel trademark.
Scratchy45 21st Oct 2020		78 RPM Isolde Menges - Hungarian Dance, No. 7 / Canzonetta In E♭ (1920)	Scans now added. Musical symbol for "flat" used on label but unable to locate to insert in title. Has G.C.L trademark bottom centre on label.
Scratchy45 15th Oct 2020		78 RPM Tim Wright - The Eightsome Reel	Label scans now added . Label red - white - gold (design and rim text/band) like BL.6185 -though with black rather than blue text.
Scratchy45 5th Aug 2020		78 RPM Nellie Melba - Valse Aria (Romeo And Juliette) (1904)	A-ha - thank you scrough. That makes considerable sense. I know that 78rpm was not a standard for a long time, and I've certainly seen the facility to adjust speed on gramophones.
Scratchy45 5th Aug 2020		78 RPM Nellie Melba - Valse Aria (Romeo And Juliette) (1904)	Though it's probably coincidence, this is now the third disc on this label and by this artist to have a hand-written "76" on the label. I thought the date on the label referred to recording date rather than release date - I have not included the month in release date.
Scratchy45 30th Mar 2020		78 RPM Ray Anthony - As Time Goes By / Scatterbrain (1952)	Decca Specialty series 40006 for a Dooley Wilson version, fredhoyt.
Scratchy45 7th Mar 2020		78 RPM Louis And The Hot 5 - Droppin' Shucks / Who'Sit	Suspected the similar disc you listed might be an unofficial reissue, bamboo. This one is listed on discogs here as one of the "Vinylite Jazz Re-Issues".
Scratchy45 21st Feb 2020		78 RPM Eddie Peabody - Blaze Away / Many Happy Returns Of The Day (1931)	The instrument-list part of the label makes Mr Peabody sound like a one-man band - which may not have been the intention!
Scratchy45 21st Feb 2020		78 RPM Maurice Chevalier - Ah! Si Vous Connaissez Ma Poule / Ma Pomme (1940)	Released 1940 but my copy has DT and P embossed near the centre so I guess is from a couple of years later.
Scratchy45 16th Feb 2020		78 RPM The Pilgrim - The Whistling Gypsy / The Call Of The Faraway Hills (1953)	One of a number I've added images to today - while finding/adding more than double the number that'll need the same thing...
Scratchy45 30th Jan 2020		78 RPM Amália Rodrigues - Zanguei (1953)	Entered as UK though rights statement in Portuguese (like D.L. 139). This disc has an "N" embossed close outside spindle hole area. I do note that D.L. 144 and D.L. 146 are entered as Portugal. Please amend if deemed necessary. [Thanks. Moved to 'Export Issue'- mod]
Scratchy45 26th Jan 2020		78 RPM Sydney Baynes And His Radio Orchestra - Ständchen (Serenade) Op. 21 / Vienna, City Of My Dreams (1931)	Thanks, mike Gann and scrough - have downloaded the s/w.
Scratchy45 26th Jan 2020		78 RPM Sydney Baynes And His Radio Orchestra - Ständchen (Serenade) Op. 21 / Vienna, City Of My Dreams (1931)	Cat# suggests Nov/Dec 1931. Does anyone have a source to suggest which month?
Scratchy45 23rd Jan 2020		78 RPM Alfred Stacey - The Miner's Dream Of Home / Old Jim's Christmas Hymn (1911)	Thank you both - there's always something to learn!
Scratchy45 23rd Jan 2020		78 RPM Alfred Stacey - The Miner's Dream Of Home / Old Jim's Christmas Hymn (1911)	Bought in a lot and found to be broken - but here are the labels, anyway. Made in Germany? Were many 78s of the period manufactured there?
Scratchy45 23rd Jan 2020		78 RPM Uppingham School Choir - Football Song / Borth Song (1953)	Likely to be the production version of the acetate which appears here. For some reason this acetate doesn't link to the other three Hollick & Taylor releases now present..
Scratchy45 23rd Jan 2020		78 RPM Band Of H.M. Life Guards - Faust Ballet Music (Selection (1928)	I would imagine this must be Sept 1928 on the basis of cat#s around it?
