Scratchy45 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Marek Weber - Blumenlied Op. 39 / Luna Waltz (1930)	Another I can't make a decent scan of at present. I thought twice whether to omit the "and his Orchestra" but with classical and light orchestral material I can see a case for including it here as Whyperion has done already for this name. [Edit] Now scanned.
Scratchy45 6th Feb 2013		78 RPM Stoll Picture Theatre Organ Played By Herbert Griffiths - Ballet Egyptien Selection (1930)	Will scan when I find way to do so. I see the cat no. number but not details are listed on the reference site referred to in the label bio.
Scratchy45 5th Feb 2013		78 RPM Gitta Alpar - I Give My Heart / The Dubarry (1936)	The 1935 British film from which these songs come is also known as "The Loves of Madame Dubarry".
Scratchy45 5th Feb 2013		78 RPM Michele Fleta - Che Gelida Manina (Your Tiny Hand Is Frozen) (1927)	Images to follow when I find a way to scan 78 labels unblurrily.- but are as per Side1 and Side 2 - without the stickering. The performer, Miguel Fleta, is credited in what I guess is the Italian version of his name.
Scratchy45 2nd Feb 2013		78 RPM Comedy Harmonists - Creole Love Call / Night And Day (1933)	If you've never heard them before I'd strongly recommend a listen to this German vocal group with their own European take on close harmony vocals. I'm particularly smitten by their versions of instrumental numbers like side B here. Apologies if preaching to anyone already converted. the name may come in various versions, and there's a modern reincarnation performing nowadays. Side B [YouTube Video] Side A [YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 29th Jan 2013		78 RPM The Intruders - Frankfurters And Sauerkraut (With Thub-Titles) / Creepin' (With Intwusions) (1959)	Zabadak - looking (and listening) on 45Cat may give a clue..
Scratchy45 27th Jan 2013		78 RPM Paul Whiteman - A Tabloid Version Of As Thousands Cheer / A Tabloid Version Of "Let 'em Eat Cake" (1933)	Look up "As Thousands Cheer" and you can't help but think that here it's a very deliberate nod to the newspaper connotations too - definitely present by this time.
Scratchy45 20th Jan 2013		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Riley's Cow-Shed / Santiago Waltz (1911)	5 1/2" children's 78 from the 1920s finally added (I asked about entering it on the forum some time back). It's from the period 1921-26 according to this website. As with others on this label, there is no artist credit as such. Given the miniscule size, the rights stamp rather obscures the label design on side 1. Mods: please change/move to another label name if something else suits. It is one of the UK Edison Bell family.
