scrough 20th Jun 2019		78 RPM Emilio De Gogorza - For All Eternity (1906)	Bob, Other folks may be able to give you a better answer, but if you look at this DAHR page you'll find there were two recording dates (1909 and 1916) and lots of releases. The 1909 recording on Victor 81094 wasn't 'issued' (but perhaps issued outside the US? Is 81xxx a 'foreign' series?), which seems to be why 'not issued' appears in the main heading you quoted.
scrough 27th May 2019		78 RPM The Marlborough Dance Orchestra - Picador / Tres Jolie (1926)	No blame on anybody except the thief !!!! They also stole my Tempo catalogue and other 78rpm Community contributors items - which can all be freely downloaded from 78rpm Community Documents {link}
scrough 27th May 2019		78 RPM Dame Clara Butt - Abide With Me / God Shall Wipe Away All Tears (1924)	This record is a double sided coupling of two single sided records: 7101 (Abide ...) and 7104 (God ...). I've changed the release date, and added details of the three issues that were made of it.
scrough 27th May 2019		78 RPM The Marlborough Dance Orchestra - Picador / Tres Jolie (1926)	No, I meant the Parlophone 1930-1931 catalogue that KeithS linked to. Unlike that link, the 78rpm Community link will take you to my original (and downloadable) version. See here {link} for my collection of Parlophone catalogues.
scrough 26th May 2019		78 RPM The Marlborough Dance Orchestra - Picador / Tres Jolie (1926)	That scan (mine!) was stolen from The 78rpm Community without permission or even any credits. The best current estimate for E 3219 is 1926.
scrough 9th May 2019		78 RPM Harry Weldon - Can You Imagine Me? / I'm Going Home To See If I've Gone Home (1928)	Added Catalogue Number and date.
scrough 6th May 2019		78 RPM Billy Cotton - Dinah / Some Of These Days (1936)	This record is entered as 8". Should be 10"?
scrough 6th May 2019		78 RPM Henry Croudson - Casse Noisette Suite Pt 1 / Casse Noisette Suite Pt 2 (1937)	This record is entered as 8". Should be 10"?
scrough 6th May 2019		78 RPM Stanley MacDonald - Largo / Spring Song (1928)	This record is entered as 8". Should be 10"?
scrough 11th Apr 2019		78 RPM The London Novelty Orchestra - The Boston Two-Step / La Maxixe (Mattchiche) (1932)	The London Novelty Orchestra is yet another widely used pseudonym on Regal/R-Z for many bands. On this record it is the Stan Greening Augmented Band. I've added the missing B side details from the UK issue (MR256).
scrough 11th Apr 2019		78 RPM The Rhythmic Troubadours - Teddy Bears' Picnic / Hush, Hush, Hush, Here Comes The Bogey Man (1933)	Russell - The Rhythmic Troubadours was a pseudonym used by Regal and Regal Zonophone for many bands including those led by Harry Reser, Ben Selvin, Guy Lombardo, Stan Greening, Debroy Somers, Percival Mackey, and quite a few others. The George Olsen link you give is just one of the recordings issued under this alias. The DAHR could do with clarifying this. The vocalist on both sides of this disc is Val Rosing
scrough 5th Mar 2019		78 RPM Jerry Vale - Innamorata (Sweetheart) / Second Ending (1956)	Many were submitted showing much of the disc run-out area and then sent for editing by mods. So this time I edited them to an octagon. No label data was lost.
scrough 21st Feb 2019		78 RPM Josefina Huguet - Norma – Casta Diva (1908)	The date submitted (1890!) is impossible as Gramophone Co. only started recording in late 1898. Kelly suggests a 1902 recording.
scrough 6th Feb 2019		78 RPM Alfred Cortot - Barcarolle In F Sharp Major / Barcarolle In F Sharp Major Fis Dur (1926)	Moved from UK to India - see 'Dum Dum' on label.
scrough 20th Jan 2019		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Three Steps To Heaven / Cut Across Shorty (1960)	A few HL suffix letters are explained here and an alternative at the bottom of this page.
scrough 20th Jan 2019		78 RPM Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely (Know How I Feel) / Here Comes That Song Again (1960)	'The New Records' also suggests a 78rpm version wasn't available in the UK - see my comment here.
scrough 20th Jan 2019		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Three Steps To Heaven / Cut Across Shorty (1960)	There is another source - 'The New Records' published monthly by Francis Antony Ltd, St. Austell. The June 1960 edition lists this record, and all others, as 45 only (9115-9132). All records have a 3 letter prefix, with variations in the third letter. The July issue lists all records (9133-9156 with 3 letter prefixes) as 45rpm only. The May issue lists 9094 - 9114 with 3 letter prefixes, but only 9104 (Duane Eddy: Shazam/The Secret Seven) is listed as available as 78rpm. The prefix guide in an earlier (Dec 1956) edition states: Various additional letters (U,N,A,F,J,D,C etc.) are added to the prefixes of these London records. These added letters are part of an "export availability" code adopted by the makers and they do not affect the price. The 'Gramophone' Popular Record Catalogue Vol. 7 (April 1960 - March 1961) also lists this as 45rpm only.
scrough 17th Jan 2019		78 RPM George Formby [Senior] - The Policeman / I Kept On Waving My Flag (1909)	Cat No. determined from Mike Langridge's ' Pathé in Britain' Vol. 1.
scrough 16th Jan 2019		78 RPM Alexander Prince - Tout Passe / Highland Schottische (1910)	Engraved label centre start Pathé disks usually show their catalogue number in a diamond shaped box above the Pathé name. This disk does not, so its cat no. has been determined from Mike Langridge's ' Pathé in Britain' Vol. 1.
scrough 4th Jan 2019		78 RPM Military Band - The Stein Song March / The Dance Of The Wooden Shoes	F.F. is Decca French Export They also used F.J for jazz releases in the F series
scrough 21st Dec 2018		78 RPM Regimental Band Of H.M. Scots Guards - Bells Of St. Malo / Weymouth Chimes (1910)	Four versions of this disk were released,but without labels it is impossible to determine which version was entered: Sep 1910 Matrix 25963/25960 Nov 1910 Matrix 27154/27155 1915 Matrix 27154/29369 1388R: July 1926 Matrix WA3353-1/WA3354-1
scrough 19th Dec 2018		78 RPM Ted Heath And His Music - Sermonette / Peter Gunn (1959)	Added date, but both Paul Pelletier's Decca Singles Book and 45Cat list the tracks on this cat no. as Peter Gunn/Sermonette. [Now fixed. Mod]
scrough 12th Dec 2018		78 RPM Sidney Torch - Serenade (Ständchen) / The Land Of Smiles (1931)	The 'WAR' labels are probably the earlier ones. The Columbia 'AR' matrix numbers for electric recording were firstly prefixed by 'W' (for the Western Electric system) and later by 'C' when Columbia introduced its own system. There is no evidence of the CAR side being a re-recording in Frank Andrews 'Regal' book, so the reason for this label change remains a mystery.
scrough 4th Nov 2018		78 RPM Sistine-Vatican Choir - Ave Maria / Innocentes (1925)	Released in the UK with this cat, number.
scrough 25th Oct 2018		78 RPM Lilia Brandao E Jose Rosa - Maria Do Mar / O Vira Da Nazareth (1930)	The second letter in many Columbia cat number prefixes is a 'country' or 'region' code. See this list from 1951.
scrough 15th Oct 2018		78 RPM Luisa Tetrazzini - La Traviata (1924)	The DB series only started in 1924, so I've assumed the date submitted (11 Jul 1911) is a recording date.
scrough 15th Oct 2018		78 RPM The Band Of H.M. Coldstream Guards - Three Symphonic Dances No. 1 / The Long Day Closes (1913)	Release date submitted (27 Nov 1909) may be recording date, and numbers in brackets after matrix numbers are probably the single-sided issues of the tracks. But this disc was released in early 1913.
scrough 7th Oct 2018		78 RPM Sexteto Habanero - Romántica Mujer / India Inglesa	Yes. List c.1952 of series prefixes from WERM downloadable here.
scrough 16th Sep 2018		78 RPM Clyde Doerr - Saxanola / Valse Hilda (1923)	Moved back to UK Export. We also have some 327x numbers from the Netherlands, so it appears that the 3000 series was not completely Australian.
scrough 13th Sep 2018		78 RPM Clyde Doerr - Saxanola / Valse Hilda (1923)	This one happened to be alone in the normal listings, so I moved it. But I saw later that all the other 3000 series had been moved to 'UK Export'. What's your opinion - move or not?
