Scratchy45 27th Oct 2022		78 RPM Symphony Orchestra - Symphony No. 6 In B Minor (Pathétique) (1927)	This disc, from the mid-twenties, pre-dates the later convention of putting side numbers on the disc labels - normally 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 etc. Things got a little more complicated when autochangers came into being, and album sets were then also issued sequenced for stacked play - e.g. 1-6, 2-5, 3-4.etc Whyperion - I think if the Work title e.g. "Symphony no.4 (etc)" is entered in the main disc title field, the descriptions of the individual sides then make more sense.
Scratchy45 17th Oct 2022		78 RPM Lawrence Tibbett - Tramps At Sea / Cuban Love Song (1932)	With a nod to sheepdip1234, unmarked label scans added.
Scratchy45 10th Oct 2022		78 RPM The B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra - The Planets Suite, Op. 32. Records 10, 11. (1945)	I think this is already on the system here, with label scans and information to identify the disc as part of an "album" set. [Merged. mod]
Scratchy45 10th Oct 2022		78 RPM Miss Gertrude Gibson And Miss Mary Evans - Kathleen Mavourneen / Nocturne (1910)	While I'm not a mod, I can assure you this is a UK issue. In the very early 20th Century, many UK-issued discs were manufactured in Germany. Quite simply, there was plant there to do it, though eventually UK shellac disc manufacturing became more widespread, even before WW1 closed off that source..
Scratchy45 30th Sep 2022		78 RPM The Revellers - Dinah / I'm Gonna Charleston (Back To Charleston) (1926)	Scans of what I think are earlier issue labels uploaded - green label with lower quadrants.
Scratchy45 26th Sep 2022		78 RPM Amelita Galli-Curci - Coppélia (1925)	'Tis a tale, told by a sticker, signifying.... something unexpected.
Scratchy45 26th Sep 2022		78 RPM V. C. Clinton-Baddeley, A. Lloyd James And Miss K. Forde - London-The First Morning-Greetings And A Chat / London-Early History (1932)	V. C. Clinton-Baddeley later had his own spoken-word record label after the days of 78 - Jupiter.
Scratchy45 26th Sep 2022		78 RPM Feodor Chaliapin - Twofold Litany "Glory To Thee, Oh Lord" / The Creed (1932)	This disc is from a collection which included a number of discs purchased in Geneva, and had a German and French language bias. There were no discs I've been able to find in it from the Scandinavian countries.
Scratchy45 24th Sep 2022		78 RPM Feodor Chaliapin - Twofold Litany "Glory To Thee, Oh Lord" / The Creed (1932)	I've been possibly overcautious here. Entered as "unknown country" on the basis of label layout, representation of catalogue number etc. This may well just be an export issue that didn't fall into a neat category. Recorded 1932 in Paris, also issued on Victor Red Seal (7715). That USA cat# is quoted rather than the 32-2837/32-2863 recording reference more normally quoted on the label.
Scratchy45 24th Sep 2022		78 RPM Chor Der Staatl. Akademie Für Musik Und Berliner Instrumental Collegium - Ruht Wohl, Ihr Heiligen Gebeine (1 Teil) / Ruht Wohl, Ihr Heiligen Gebeine (Schluss)	12" issue
Scratchy45 24th Sep 2022		78 RPM Various Artists - Trio-Sonata In G Major	This, like all in a batch with T cat# prefix I'm adding, has the legend "Edition: Pro Musica, Paris" printed on the label above the disc centre-hole. Scans now added.
Scratchy45 23rd Sep 2022		78 RPM Members Of "La Musique Intime" - Was Qualet (What Ails Thee) / Trocknet Euch (Dry Your Tears)	Sleeves long gone - discs were housed in a proprietary storage system as described on the forum. I have probably about as much chance of matching up with some original sleeves as I have of pairing up some Brazilian sleeves I have with original issues.....
Scratchy45 23rd Sep 2022		78 RPM Members Of "La Musique Intime" - Was Qualet (What Ails Thee) / Trocknet Euch (Dry Your Tears)	Thank you JLC135. As the content was classical I did not think to check the M.G. Thomas website as thought it might be out of that site's scope. Mods: please change to "Treasury... " label designation if more appropriate..
Scratchy45 23rd Sep 2022		78 RPM Mitglieder Des Orchesters Der Staatsoper, Berlin - Divertimento No. 6 (K.V.188) 1 Für 2 Flöten, 5 Trompeten Und 4 Pauken (1932)	Entered as UK 10" though export issue equally likely given the German label text and purchase sticker from a Swiss retailer.
Scratchy45 23rd Sep 2022		78 RPM Pierre Bernac - Prison / Jardin Nocturne	Thank you for the decision, though I'm still seeing both versions as separate entities. I have more to add which I'll put under "Gramophone".
Scratchy45 23rd Sep 2022		78 RPM Members Of "La Musique Intime" - Was Qualet (What Ails Thee) / Trocknet Euch (Dry Your Tears)	One of a couple on this label I've acquired. Entered as "E.M.G. Handmade Gramophone Ltd" rather then the Series name to the top of the label. No info found online to shellacs, just the activity the company name suggests.
Scratchy45 22nd Sep 2022		78 RPM Pierre Bernac - Prison / Jardin Nocturne	On adding some issues of this label, I see it's represented two ways here - plain "Gramophone" and also as Disque "Gramophone". Duplication?
Scratchy45 20th Sep 2022		78 RPM Georges Thill - Mass In B Minor (1934)	Scans added.
Scratchy45 7th Sep 2022		78 RPM Vladimir Horowitz - Scherzo No. 4, In E Major-Part 1 / Scherzo No. 4, In E Major-Concl. (1937)	Released as DB3205 in the UK in July 1937
Scratchy45 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Carroll Gibbons And The Savoy Hotel Orpheans - Our Love Affair / Ridin' High (1941)	The only shop business model I could see working for 78s is something like the bonkers bookshop I discovered fairly locally. Location: what looks like a former furniture store in on-its-knees urban shopping centre probably kept open solely by the rent for the supermarket the forms part of the centre. Probably a pretty very low rent. Presentation. shelves round the outside walls with much of the rest of the inside taken up by stacks of semi-sorted boxes. Prices low, opening hours long - run (I think) by a family. Some rural town could try and start up the Hay-on-Wye of 78s, perhaps?
Scratchy45 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Bidgood's Broadcasters - All By Yourself In The Moonlight / I Think Of What You Used To Think Of Me (1929)	With a nod to Greys456, scans of both sides uploaded
Scratchy45 28th Aug 2022		78 RPM Teddy Williams - The Lion And Albert Part 1 / The Lion And Albert Part 2 (1934)	Label scans added, though in the hope one of the other four owners has a better side 2 label they can contribute.
Scratchy45 24th Aug 2022		78 RPM Edith Piaf - La Vie En Rose / Un Refrain Courait Dans La Rue (1947)	Images uploaded - what I have in hand is a disc split across the middle, though labels remain intact at present. The labels themselves are white - though nothing on them indicates they are a promo.
Scratchy45 22nd Aug 2022		78 RPM "Fats" Waller And His Rhythm - As Long As The World Goes 'Round And 'Round (And I Go Around With You) / I'm On A See-Saw (1952)	Missing label scans added.
Scratchy45 19th Aug 2022		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Im ¾ Takt Durchs Tessin / Monica	Early 1930s Telefunken issue - on the basis of cat#. Can anyone date more accurately?. Also I'm not sure I've interpreted the label information correctly. Possibly the artist is Bandonium - this disc comes from a collection of accordion music 78s. I was thinking bandonium referred to the bandoneon accordion when entering this release so didn't enter artist information. The label description translates - as far as I'm aware - to "Bandonium with piano accompaniment".
Scratchy45 11th Aug 2022		78 RPM Gellin Og Borgstrøms Nyheds Kvintet - Loin Du Bal / Krolls Ballklänge (1933)	Kelly says recorded in Copenhagen 1932-09-02. A broken disc sadly - but labels unaffected..
Scratchy45 2nd Aug 2022		78 RPM Enco Amadori -Salvo Dani - La Gioconda / Ci Sposeremo A Napoli	Artist credited incorrectly on side 1 label as "Enco" rather than "Enzo" .
Scratchy45 31st Jul 2022		78 RPM Arthur Mersiowsky - Vergißmeinnicht / Der Optimist (1934)	Brown shellac - and a bandonion...
Scratchy45 30th Jul 2022		78 RPM Kramer And Wolmer - The Train / Caravana Negra (1948)	Year of release added on the basis of adjoining cat#. Correction queued to correct the punctuation in cat#. (Mod. comment: corrected)
Scratchy45 29th Jul 2022		78 RPM Will Glahé Und Sein Musette-Orchester - Tändelei / Grillenhochzeit (1937)	Release date taken from the French issue of EG4015
