Scratchy45 23rd Jan 2020		78 RPM The Choirs Of Westminster Abbey And H.M. Chapels Royal - Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven / Psalm 67 (1948)	Appears to be UK issue - "made in England", but may not have been sold there. Side 1 has the recording angel trade mark and a sticker saying (with line spacings as it appears): Made in England Radio Corporation of America Trade marks British West Indies Possibly a legal requirement if sold at the time in British West Indies with that trademark?
Scratchy45 22nd Jan 2020		78 RPM Matt Keefe - Mountain High / The Strolling Yodler (1915)	Some rather muddy scans added. Perhaps I should just photoghraph...
Scratchy45 19th Jan 2020		78 RPM The Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, M.P. - The War Of The Unknown Warriors No. 3 / The War Of The Unknown Warriors No. 4 (1940)	Second record of the set starting with G.S.26
Scratchy45 19th Jan 2020		78 RPM The Rt. Hon. Winston Churchill, M.P. - The War Of The Unknown Warriors No. 1 / The War Of The Unknown Warriors No. 2 (1940)	First of a multi - record set (unplayed by myself). I have a second disc 3&4. Entered as His Master's Voice on the basis of the label image (includes Reg. Trade Mark statement). 12" record (correction requested) . More info in the Churchill Archive Open to any suggestion/correction by mods on the way I've entered it .
Scratchy45 18th Jan 2020		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - Vaghissima Sembianza / Sultanto A Te (Only For You) (1934)	A slip does seem most likely. [mod:corrected]
Scratchy45 18th Jan 2020		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - Vaghissima Sembianza / Sultanto A Te (Only For You) (1934)	Some slightly fuzzy scans added. I don't see how this could be a 1954 issue unless as a repress, given the cat#. 1933/4 seems far more realistic.
Scratchy45 18th Jan 2020		78 RPM Various Artists - Paint Your Wagon Side 1 / Paint Your Wagon Side 2 (1953)	Non-banded - hence I have put "track-listing" & the artists into notes.
Scratchy45 16th Jan 2020		78 RPM Alan And Gloria Kane - The Magic Pipe	A bit of an oddity. A square card with a spindle hole onto which a very thin single-side square-edged 78rpm flexi has been glued.
Scratchy45 11th Jan 2020		78 RPM Mário Simões E Seu Conjunto - Madragoa / Uma Casa Portuguesa	Thanks for the link scrough. Scans added - though will try and improve on them (a while since I scanned a 78 and have a new PC and scanner setup). Second side should be credited to Carlos Fernando - on basis of label credit. Youtube illustrations of labels better than my scans. [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 10th Jan 2020		78 RPM Mário Simões E Seu Conjunto - Madragoa / Uma Casa Portuguesa	Scans to follow. Entered as UK whether that's correct or no - rights statement in English outside circular band on upper perimeter of label, with shortened version in Portuguese on lower half of label within circular band. I suspect the cat# is not a UK one. Very confusing artist credits, which I've mucked up. Until scanned can be seen in part on discogs. On side 1 the bandleader is given top billing ( with vocal credit for Carlos Fernando) , on the other Carlos Fernando has top billing and bandleader and orchestra are demoted.
Scratchy45 1st Dec 2019		78 RPM The Malcolm Mitchell Trio - Rose, Rose, I Love You / Easy Come, Easy Go (1951)	Placeholder scans added.
Scratchy45 1st Dec 2019		78 RPM Ted Heath And His Music - Canadian Sunset / Oriental Holiday (1956)	placeholder label scans added (my scanner software is not up to the task....).
Scratchy45 2nd May 2019		78 RPM George Shearing Quintet - September In The Rain / Bop, Look And Listen (1949)	I have this with label crediting "George Shearing Quintette" as per US release on MGM 10426 - will scan.
Scratchy45 29th Jan 2019		78 RPM Harry Torrani - Happy And Free Yodel / Honeymoon Yodel (1932)	Also on White-scarlet-green-gold label.
Scratchy45 29th Jan 2019		78 RPM Harry Torrani - My Lancashire Yodelling Lass / Log Cabin Yodel (1935)	Played a little straighter than I thought it might be - given the title... [YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 3rd Jun 2018		78 RPM The Palais Royal Dance Band - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes / Love Is Like That (1934)	Label images added
Scratchy45 1st Jun 2018		78 RPM The Connecticut Collegians - I've Got You Under My Skin / Was It Me? (1937)	Scans added - rather muddy labels.Should anyone be able to identify the composer for side 2, they'd be doing very well....
Scratchy45 15th Dec 2017		78 RPM Dol Dauber's Dance Orchestra - You Have Become So Terribly Blonde Lately / Oh, Donna Clara (1930)	[YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 10th Dec 2017		78 RPM The B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra - Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis Part 3 / Fantasia On A Theme By Thomas Tallis Conclusion (1940)	Seems to be either 1939 or 1940 by cat# sequence but cannot find any online source to confirm.
Scratchy45 2nd Dec 2017		78 RPM Yehudi Menuhin, San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, Pierre Monteux - Concerto N°1 In G Minor Op.26 First Movement: Allegro Moderato (Part 1) / Concerto N°1 In G Minor Op.26 Third Movement Finale: Allegro Energico (Concluded) (1946)	Details added from album cover and 11-8955 (only disc in hand - broken). Though cover clearly states RCA Red Seal, and inside “Printed in USA” - the disc is the Canadian issue labelled as His Master’s Voice - Victor.
Scratchy45 2nd Dec 2017		78 RPM Serge Koussevitzky And The Boston Symphony Orchestra - Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche op. 28, part 3 (Till's Merry Pranks) / Till Eulenspiegels Lustige Streiche Op. 28, (Conclusion) (Till's Merry Pranks) (1946)	Scans from intact labels of broken shellac.
Scratchy45 1st Dec 2017		78 RPM Django Reinhardt - Mixture / Bei Dir War Es Immer So Schön (1942)	I agree with LouisDidney's comment of 3 years ago; this seems to be a Belgian release. While I don't often use discogs as a source the releases on their database for the Rythme label backs it up. Do the stamps also indicate it to be a Belgian release? [Edit] This French language discography identifies the Rythme label as Belgian. [Has now been changed. Thanks for the Corrections Request! Mod.]
Scratchy45 28th Nov 2017		78 RPM London Philharmonic Orchestra - Symphony No. 40 In G Minor (1938)	Appears to be part of a 3-disc set that should logically be L.X. 8344, L.X. 8345, L.X. 8346. Released later in the US Columbia Masterworks series as album M-316, UK LX 656-8
Scratchy45 27th Nov 2017		78 RPM Ronnie Hilton - I Wish And Wish / I Live For You (1954)	Label scans added - will have a go at removing the sticker on side 2 and rescan at some point.
Scratchy45 26th Nov 2017		78 RPM Benno Moiseiwitsch - Sonata In C Minor Op. 13 (Pathetique) 1st Mov. Part 1 / Sonata In C Minor Op. 13 (Pathetique) 1st Mov. Part 2 (1941)	Recorded 11th September 1941 according to this site for a Naxos CD reissue with other recordings
Scratchy45 26th Nov 2017		78 RPM Benno Moiseiwitsch - Sonata In C Minor Op. 13 (Pathetique) 2nd Movement / Sonata In C Minor Op. 13 (Pathetique) 2nd Movement (Rondo) (1941)	Recorded 11 September 1941 according to this page for a Naxos CD reissue of this and other recordings For whatever reason, side 4 label colour is actually very different from side 3, as per scans.
Scratchy45 26th Nov 2017		78 RPM Ginette Neveu And The Philharmonia Orchestra - Concerto In D Major, Op. 77, 1st Movement (Part 1) (1948)	Label scan from a sadly broken disc with embossed tax code D/T. Appears to be excerpt from a 5-disc set of the work which appears to have been issued with a couple of different cat# sequences dependent on market. [Edit] I have just added the 2 discs DB 9129 and 9130, and also realised the DBS prefix means a single-sided disc in the DB series - so this is the first of that series. If this disc had 2 sides it would be DB.9126 rather than DBS.9126.
Scratchy45 24th Nov 2017		78 RPM International Novelty Quartette - La Paloma / A Waltz Dream (1930)	Deadwax Yy 19510 II ∆ G, Yy 19511 II ∆ G
Scratchy45 24th Nov 2017		78 RPM Mr. Hatherley Clarke - Our Hands Have Met / Mother Is My Sweetheart (1917)	"English Counter-Tenor" with Chorus and Orch. accompaniment. In inner wax are additional v20129 GL (side 1) and v20148 GP.
Scratchy45 24th Nov 2017		78 RPM Madame Clara Butt - Annie Laurie (1915)	Copy as scanned has same cat# but non-contemporary-looking (later?) label design and "Dame Clara Butt" artist credit. "Single-sided - rear side has cross-hatched pattern and embossed Columbia records "Magic Notes" trademark.
