Scratchy45 23rd Sep 2021		78 RPM Adelina Patti - Robin Adair (1906)	The recording location is not Grag-y-Nos castle, rather Craig-y-Nos Castle in the Swansea Valley, South Wales - now a wedding venue, among other things rather than a diva's home.
Scratchy45 16th Sep 2021		78 RPM Gargan's Athlone Accordeon Band - Saddle The Pony / The Frost Is All Over	Scans added - side2 label a little distressed. Artist described in brackets under the name given as "The Gallagher Bros.".....
Scratchy45 16th Sep 2021		78 RPM Green Brothers' Novelty Orchestra - An Old, Old Man With An Old, Old Pipe (And An Old, Old Lady Beside Him) / Trouble In Paradise (1933)	Scans added - request to correct artist names submitted (wrong way round). Hotel Bossert Orchestra is an alias for Freddy Martin & his Orchestra , according to the Michael Thomas website.
Scratchy45 13th Sep 2021		78 RPM Francis Quinn - Sailor's Hornpipe / Miss McLeod's Reel And Blackberry Blossoms (1926)	xiphophilos - the 12 o'clock runouts are both 2-AC-24.
Scratchy45 13th Sep 2021		78 RPM Talbot O'Farrell - Beside An Open Fireplace / Mother's Smile (1930)	Label scans added
Scratchy45 13th Sep 2021		78 RPM Emilio Colombo - Serenata, Op. 6 / The Canary (Le Canari) (1933)	Reissue of Edison Bell Electron 0208
Scratchy45 13th Sep 2021		78 RPM Francis Quinn - Sailor's Hornpipe / Miss McLeod's Reel And Blackberry Blossoms (1926)	Scans uploaded (can edit to better later) Francis Quinn both sides - and on original (here). Can find some source to provide the link between the two names if needed, but most bio notes seem to mention both singing on one hand and fiddle./accordion on the other.
Scratchy45 13th Sep 2021		78 RPM Francis Quinn - Sailor's Hornpipe / Miss McLeod's Reel And Blackberry Blossoms (1926)	The Discography of American Historical Recordings says this was recorded 9th May 1921, and originally issued on Columbia A3566. Pianist given as John Muller. Please link to Frank Quinn - the Francis Quinn title appears to have been used for at least some instrumental recordings. Would appreciate a date for this - 1926/7?
Scratchy45 11th Sep 2021		78 RPM Vernon Dalhart And Adelyn Hood - In The Valley Of Yesterday / The Old Covered Bridge (1934)	I was a little surprised to find no US release for either side until I came across a Google Books search result suggesting that Vernon Dalhart And Adelyn Hood visited London in the early 1930s and recorded there. (Rural rhythm : the story of old-time country music in 78 records by Tony Russell)
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM Mr. Billy Wilson - Tickle Me, Timothy / I Never Heard Father Laugh So Much Before	Pridesale - i don't have means to play something like this at the moment. I understand quite a lot of shellacs sold in the UK pre-1914 were pressed in Germany.
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM Flanagan Brothers - (A) An' Corrowath (Stack Of Wheat); (B) Longdance / The Flanagans Visit Killarney (1928)	Apologies for qualty of images: well-used disc and labels.
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM Mr. Billy Wilson - Tickle Me, Timothy / I Never Heard Father Laugh So Much Before	Both songs (can't play them at present) are usually performed by Billy Williams. Might this be a cash-in? I see no aliases for Billy Williams.
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM Mr. Billy Wilson - Tickle Me, Timothy / I Never Heard Father Laugh So Much Before	Entered with cat no C2 as seen to right centre of label. Michael Thomas's website with details of UK labels seems to explain why. - this is an earlier series with Midland Gramophone Co.to bottom of label and and Saxony (Kalliope) pressing reference.
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM Hector Gordon - Bobbie Burns (A Scotsman's Toast) / We'll Hae Just Anither (1916)	Can anyone confirm and add month of issue, please ?
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM Tom Ennis - (A) Rickett's Hornpipe; (B) Dr. Carroll's Hornpipe / (A) Ragan's Jig; (B) Nora Green (1930)	No banding - two items entered as one on each side. Matrix numbers not included in notes are W 111279 and W 111280.
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM The Ulster Amateur Flute Band - Irish Melodies (1932)	Reference to the recording session for this and history of this band on this webpage
Scratchy45 9th Sep 2021		78 RPM Jay Whidden - I'll See You Again / Cuckoo Valse (1929)	Placeholder image of illegible side 1 label added- please replace if you have a copy. Side 2 image shows label in much better condition. Used camera from phone as scanner would only render deep purple as black and refused to render gold at all!
Scratchy45 7th Sep 2021		78 RPM Ελίζα Μαρέλλι & Στ. Παρούσης - Μη Φοβάσαι / Τίποτα Άσχημο Δεν Έχεις (1954)	Greek female singer who started her recording career in 1954 at the age of 14.with these songs. Cat# here appears to correspond with this year. [YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 31st Aug 2021		78 RPM De Groot And Terence Casey - Cavatina / Parted (1929)	Extra scans added - probably irrelevant as I now se they are incorrectly light as the existing scans are incorrectly dark. The "truth", colour-wise, lies somewhere in between.. Mods, please feel free to delete if as irrelevant as I think they are now.
Scratchy45 31st Aug 2021		78 RPM Max Miller - Max Miller In The Theatre (1942)	Kelly Recording date 12th October 1942.
Scratchy45 31st Aug 2021		78 RPM The Skyrockets Orchestra - Phil The Fluter's Ball / Royal Garden Blues (1947)	Scans added - Youtube from disc [YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 31st Aug 2021		78 RPM Ted Yorke - Florrie The Flapper / Gilbert The Filbert (1914)	This site lists both the songs in the 1914 version of the revue but there is no mention of subsequent incarnations under the same title.
Scratchy45 30th Aug 2021		78 RPM Ted Yorke - Florrie The Flapper / Gilbert The Filbert (1914)	Possibly both of these "comic songs" are from the "The Passing Show" of 1914. I don't have a means to safely play something this venerable at the moment, so I can't confirm it.
Scratchy45 30th Aug 2021		78 RPM James Moody - Pennies From Heaven / Cherokee (1951)	Scans added. Apols if images aren't pin-sharp, but I'm cautious with the Esquire shellacs I have after one layer-split and disintegrated at one edge, followed by another losing a chip in similar manner.
Scratchy45 30th Aug 2021		78 RPM Lido Modern Orchestra - Lumber Love (1928)	A few "Lido Dance Orchestra" discs on here, but this is the first "Lido Modern Orchestra".
Scratchy45 30th Aug 2021		78 RPM New Light Symphony Orchestra - Children's Overture (1926)	Scans added
Scratchy45 27th Aug 2021		78 RPM The Rhythm Maniacs - Don't Say Goodbye / While We Danced At The Mardi Gras (1932)	Michael Thomas's site suggests the names are aliases for A - Ilja Livschakov & his Orchestra B - Victor Young & his Orchestra
Scratchy45 27th Aug 2021		78 RPM The Rhythm Maniacs - Don't Say Goodbye / While We Danced At The Mardi Gras (1932)	Side A is first time I've seen a fraction in a matrix. Runout matrix confirms it IS a fraction. 1763½ BN 7 Mechan. Copt. 1932 B11798 A N 1
Scratchy45 25th Aug 2021		78 RPM Zoot Sims And His Five Brothers - Yellow Duck / Boot It Zoot (1949)	Side a: Zoot Sims, tenor sax. Lars Gullin, baritone sax. Sixten Eriksson, trumpet. Dick Hyman, piano. Charlie Short, bass. Ed Shaughnessy, drums. Side b: Zoot Sims, tenor sax. Dick Hyman, piano. Charlie Short, bass. Ed Shaughnessy, drums. both 24.4.50
Scratchy45 17th Aug 2021		78 RPM Will Glahé - Barbara-Barbara (Komm Mit Mir Nach Afrika) / Echo Echo (1949)	Many thanks for all that info and the links, xiphophilos. I thought somewhere in 45worlds or 45cat forums there might be something relevant to find. As ever, it's easier when you know what you're searching for... Yes, Holton heath is west of Poole and thus 40 miles West of Southampton, though a rail link from the site would have made transport to Southampton & the docks there considerably more straightforward than by road. I'll see if I can research any further. As I've said - probably not at all relevant to this release but a very interesting tangent nonetheless.
