Scratchy45 4th Apr 2021		78 RPM Orchestre Stella - Continental / Demain	While it's no particular recommendation or proof, there are a number of shellacs on discogs for this label attributed as Belgian - and a sequence of titles for the artist too. The other side's on Youtube too - a sprightly rendition of a 1930 film song I found surprisingly familiar. [YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 21st Mar 2021		78 RPM الياس شهوان (ابو شها) - Unknown / كام يات يا فكار	A label bio here in German.
Scratchy45 10th Mar 2021		78 RPM Victor Silvester And His Ballroom Orchestra - Paul Jones (1936)	Apparently a Paul Jones is a form of "mixer" dance - partners change at the end of pieces or posaibly when a caller says "Paul Jones". More "Paul Jones" medleys are performed by the same artist on both 78 and 45 over a different decades..
Scratchy45 6th Mar 2021		78 RPM Petula Clark - Fortune Teller / Teenage Love (1956)	I think this publisher's demo disc beats the system for sensibly assigning a label to a release. Two songs, released on two entirely different labels (Pye Nixa, Columbia), with two affiliated music publishers (Mills Music, B.F.Wood).
Scratchy45 2nd Mar 2021		78 RPM Myra Hess - Concerto In A Minor (A Moll) Op.54 (1937)	From album series No. 296 made up of C.2942/3/4/5 - (4 discs)
Scratchy45 2nd Mar 2021		78 RPM Myra Hess - Concerto In A Minor (A Moll) Op.54 (1937)	From album series No. 296 made up of C.2942/3/4/5 - (4 discs)
Scratchy45 2nd Mar 2021		78 RPM Myra Hess - Concerto In A Minor (A Moll) Op.54 (1937)	From album series No. 296 made up of C.2942/3/4/5 - (4 discs)
Scratchy45 28th Feb 2021		78 RPM Royal Albert Hall Orchestra - Symphony No. 5 In C Minor, Op.67 1st Movement: Allegro Con Brio (First Record)) / Symphony No. 5 In C Minor, Op.67 1st Movement: Allegro Con Brio (Second Record) (1927)	From Album Set No. 27
Scratchy45 28th Feb 2021		78 RPM Peter Dawson - Six Australian Bush Songs (1928)	Labels are actually plum (blame my scanner). Same songs as C1125 from 1923, but Kelly says this issue recorded Oct 1927 with a different pianist. The missing song of the six mentioned in the title is "King Billy's Song". All songs words by Richard Baylis, music by William G. James, credited on C1125 though not on this disc.
Scratchy45 7th Feb 2021		78 RPM Sandy MacPherson - Twilight Hour (1940)	My scanner seems to have embargoed anything plum-coloured.in any shade.. Name correction about to be submitted
Scratchy45 7th Feb 2021		78 RPM Sig. Enrico Caruso - I Pagliacci (1911)	I think this release and the entry under "Enrico Caruso" are one and the same. The exact form of name & title the Gramophone Company used seems to have varied from issue to issue....2 variations seen and counting. He probably hadn't been awarded the title of "commendatore" at the original time of issue.
Scratchy45 31st Jan 2021		78 RPM The Imperial Band - The Gladiator's Farewell / The Bells Of St. Malo (1908)	You guessed right, Redpunk. There's a later issue on discogs with a Gramophone Co. Ltd label where the Cat# is in a more sensible place...
Scratchy45 31st Jan 2021		78 RPM Sergei Rachmaninoff And Fritz Kreisler - Sonata in C Minor, Op. 45 (1929)	I think that's exactly what happened, xiphophilos. I'll get them fixed (now done).
Scratchy45 31st Jan 2021		78 RPM The Melachrino Orchestra - Theme From "Runnymede Rhapsody" / Legend (1950)	Whoops - label scanned but disc broken when I forgot it was under the scanner lid.
Scratchy45 31st Jan 2021		78 RPM Sig. Enrico Caruso - I Pagliacci (1911)	1911 release year added. Recorded 28/12/1910 and seen in the BL's archive copy of His Master's Voice New Releases Feb-Jul 1911 though not in any individual month.
Scratchy45 31st Jan 2021		78 RPM Sergei Rachmaninoff And Fritz Kreisler - Sonata in C Minor, Op. 45 (1929)	Scans of the 3 discs added. Is it an artefact I'm seeing or have they all added as square rather than round images? I've never had problems with GIMP creating and adding elliptical images until recently. Any suggestions as to the reason for this gratefully received. Mods - can you please add the extra discs into the tracklisting as per the submission notes and correction request I've submitted.
Scratchy45 30th Jan 2021		78 RPM Caruso, Hempel, Duchene, Rothier, De Segurola - Ballo In Maschera (1915)	The Caruso discography at the top of this page - and other sources (e.g. Kelly) list this as a1914 recording . It's in the BL Feb New releases catalogue as part of January Supplement (reprinted) . Hence release date should be Jan 1915. [Thanks! Now fixed. Mod.]
Scratchy45 30th Jan 2021		78 RPM Caruso, Galli-Curci, Perini And De Luca - Un Di, Se Ben Rammentomi (1917)	The 1905 release year currently entered cannot be verified. The cat#. on Kelly - however described - leads back to a Camden New Jersey recording 25-1-1917. The pre-quadrant "unframed dog", "Gramophone.. text below dog" label design on the scanned label present here is consistent with a release up to Feb 1918. See Collector’s Guide to Gramophone Company Record Labels 1898 - 1925 Howard Friedman On balance a release year of 1917 seems most likely. [Thanks! Now fixed. Mod.]
Scratchy45 29th Jan 2021		78 RPM Enrico Caruso - Una Furtiva Lagrima (Down Her Cheek A Pearly Tear) / Ella Mi Fu Rapita ! (Parmi Veder Le Lagrime) (Yes She Was Taken From Me) (Each Tear That Falls) (1939)	[YouTube Video]
Scratchy45 28th Jan 2021		78 RPM Caruso, Galli-Curci, Perini And De Luca - Un Di, Se Ben Rammentomi (1917)	Same label title listing on a Czech issue of D.Q.100 - the other D.Q.100 releases there describe it differently on the labels Plenty of scope for confusion - which seems to be par for the course for operatic extracts on record.
Scratchy45 28th Jan 2021		78 RPM Caruso, Galli-Curci, Perini And De Luca - Bella Figlia Dell'amore (1917)	No explanation as such, but the two sequences follow on from one another in Act 3 of the opera, this one second. 2-054066 refers to a 25-1-1917 recording, which rather blows out of the water the 1906 date currently attributed to the other 2-054066, whatever it may be. Playing it would indicate straight away, from the first sung line.
Scratchy45 28th Jan 2021		78 RPM John Harrison - Thou Shalt Break Them / But Thou Didst Not Leave His Soul In Hell (1920)	Both recorded 17-07-1906 Picture added of unusual handwritten text on run-out, which seems to be "5 14 -Ef" "b old"
Scratchy45 26th Jan 2021		78 RPM George Riley Puckett - Johnson's Old Grey Mule / Chicken, Don't Roost Too High For Me (1924)	In this particular case, with two different artists credited separately by song on the same side, it seems a reasonable way to represent it on 45worlds/78rpm, regardless of banding. How else could it be entered?
Scratchy45 25th Jan 2021		78 RPM International Novelty Orchestra - Gold And Silver Waltz / Emperor Waltz (1929)	It seems likely that this release and the other UK C.1617 here are one and the same.
Scratchy45 24th Jan 2021		78 RPM L. Sheffield, H. Lytton, D. Oldham, E. Griffin, A. Davis, B. Elburn And G. Baker - With Aspect Stern / Your Revels Cease (1927)	Added scarlet later-issue labels - side 2 images has been enhanced, perhaps a bit too much.
Scratchy45 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM A Church Choir - When I Survey The Wondrous Cross / Our Blest Redeemer (1910)	In trying to make the labels legible, I seem to have removed the last vestiges of dark green text and dull gold - you'll just have to imagine them.
Scratchy45 19th Jan 2021		78 RPM Sergei Rachmaninoff - Prelude In C Sharp Minor / Etude Tableau In A Minor (1938)	Not UK-looking, most certainly. Reversed-design label logo , sticker possibly from a Hungarian outlet.
Scratchy45 17th Jan 2021		78 RPM William Hannah - The Dashing White Sergeant / Scottish Or Foursome Reel (1945)	Scans now added. DT tax code either side of centre hole on side2 as I've entered it , with P under the T. A slight oddity in the runout matrix I've not consciously seen before - CE 8158-1 for side 1, but ©E 8160-1 for side 2
Scratchy45 14th Jan 2021		78 RPM Luisa Tetrazzini - La Traviata (1911)	Thanks - 1911 added as release year.
Scratchy45 13th Jan 2021		78 RPM Bix Beiderbecke - Bix And Tram (1947)	Not aware of Jim Flora until now - I see I should have been. A very distinctive style.
