Member	Item		Review/Comment
TheJudge 20th Oct 2013		78 RPM Rev. J. M. Gates - Need Of Prayer / Death's Black Train Is Coming	Agreed (x2). Label changed and date removed until we get further info.
TheJudge 20th Oct 2013		78 RPM Humphrey Lyttelton - Melancholy Blues / The Thin Red Line (1949)	Agreed. Change made.
TheJudge 24th Aug 2013		78 RPM The Crickets - That'll Be The Day / I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love (1957)	Coral labels now moved to their own entry here
TheJudge 23rd Aug 2013		78 RPM The Crickets - That'll Be The Day / I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love (1957)	The entry for this release on 45cat prompts the same question. I've asked my fellow mods there for their opinions; what we do with the one will dictate what we do with the other.
TheJudge 19th Aug 2013		78 RPM Tom And Jerry [Bell Record] - Baby Talk / I'm Gonna Get Married (1959)	Or possibly not - see discussion here.
TheJudge 11th Aug 2013		78 RPM Spike Jones And His City Slickers - Nutcracker Suite (1947)	Titles amended; as Nutcracker Suite is the overall name of the disc (and of the three-disc set), then I don't see the need for it to be in the track title as well. All three discs amended accordingly. B-side details from this page.
TheJudge 8th Aug 2013		78 RPM Gracie Fields And Sandy Powell - Gracie And Sandy At The Coronation Part 1 / Gracie And Sandy At The Coronation Part 2 (1937)	There's one going on Musicstack at the moment for....£7.20. Don't give up the day job!
TheJudge 6th Aug 2013		78 RPM Dinah Shore - Buttons And Bows / All My Love (1948)	Happy 80th for next month, sir!
TheJudge 6th Aug 2013		78 RPM Peter And Mary (Peter Lind Hayes And Mary Healy) - Crazy Mixed Up Song / (What Shall We Do With A) Lonesome Lover (1954)	In this case, I'd be inclined to leave it as it is, because that's what's shown on the label.
TheJudge 24th Jul 2013		78 RPM David Lloyd - All Through The Night / March Of The Men Of Harlech (1940)	Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music Associate of the Royal College of Music Can't find the last one.
TheJudge 23rd Jul 2013		78 RPM Dutch Daly - Imitations On The Concertina (1904)	[Mod note: entire comments thread up to this date deleted with agreement of the two main contributors (thanks, guys)]
TheJudge 15th Jul 2013		78 RPM Luigi Infantino - Rondini Al Nido / Core 'Ngrato (1947)	Eh?
TheJudge 14th Jul 2013		78 RPM Duke Ellington - Экспресс (Daybreak Express) / На Юге (Dear Old Southland) (1939)	Seeing no reason not to, green label A-side unhidden.
TheJudge 14th Jul 2013		78 RPM Royal Guards Military Band - Lynwood March / Colonel Bogey March (1920)	Agreed and amended.
TheJudge 14th Jul 2013		78 RPM Duke Ellington - Экспресс (Daybreak Express) / На Юге (Dear Old Southland) (1939)	Now also removed Cyrillic for 'Foxtrot'. raowood, why is the A-side scan hidden?
TheJudge 7th Jul 2013		78 RPM The Victory Dance Orchestra - Take Her The Longest Way Round / I Can't Give You Anything But Love (1929)	See Mike Thomas' page on this label here.
TheJudge 22nd Jun 2013		78 RPM Buddy Knox - Party Doll / My Baby's Gone (1957)	With acknowledgement to Jock-Girl, clearer A-side uploaded.
TheJudge 22nd Jun 2013		78 RPM Lale Andersen - Lied Eines Jungen Wachtpostens (Lili Marlen) / Drei Rote Rosen (Gedenken) (1941)	Title corrected.
TheJudge 19th Jun 2013		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Derby Winner Race Record / Derby Winner Race Record	I assume that this was one of those commentary recordings used in 'racing nights' (they still go on, I'm told) where, for fun or fundraising, people would place bets on which horse would win. (Discogs claims that both sides of this disc are the same - I somehow think that this would defeat the object of the exercise!).
TheJudge 19th Jun 2013		78 RPM Elfie Mayerhofer - Frühlingsstimmen / Vilja (1949)	This isn't American - I've got a feeling it's Swiss; the only other Decca 78 on Discogs with a "K.28" cat# features an orchestra from Zurich (Beromünster - featured here - is also in CH; there was a very powerful AM radio transmitter there for about 70 years). Any thoughts?
TheJudge 16th Jun 2013		78 RPM Harry James - Back Beat Boogie / Night Special (1940)	With acknowledgement to LouisSidney, clearer B-side label uploaded.
TheJudge 16th Jun 2013		78 RPM I. Silverster's Orchestra - Sometime / Prisoner's Song (1929)	Thanks both, now changed.
TheJudge 16th Jun 2013		78 RPM I. Silverster's Orchestra - Sometime / Prisoner's Song (1929)	Judging by Wikipedia, those look like Polish-style quotation marks, so I'd back Tkonst's opinion. I daresay it would have been fairly easy for a Polish release to find its way to Poland pre-WWII.
TheJudge 15th Jun 2013		78 RPM Julius La Rosa - Eh, Cumpari / Till They've All Gone Home (1953)	With acknowledgement to Jock_Girl, sharper A-side scan uploaded.
TheJudge 2nd Jun 2013		78 RPM Sousa's Band - The Sesqui-Centennial Exposition / Under The Double Eagle (1927)	Agreed and amended.
TheJudge 6th May 2013		78 RPM The Playmates - Beep Beep / Your Love (1958)	The BBC's ban had little if anything to do with the nation of origin of the recording. Strange as it may seem to many nowadays, the BBC was for decades extremely sensitive to the appearance of brand names during their programmes (radio or TV), for fear of appearing to be advertising something or other, and thus compromising what they saw as their lofty integrity. On TV, packets of washing powder which appeared in plays (or even on kids programmes telling the youngsters how to make their own Dalek, or some such) were covered up either by judicially folded flaps or by masking tape. On radio, a programme such as Down Your Way actually had to state that it was coming "from a car factory in Dagenham" without even breathing the particular 'F'-word which would tell you the name of the company which owned said factory. This coyness was almost certainly the reason for any recording of this song including the names 'Cadillac' and 'Nash Rambler' being utterly verboten.
TheJudge 6th May 2013		78 RPM Art Carney, Mitch Miller And Orchestra - The Ugly Duckling (1963)	Entry moved across from 45cat.
TheJudge 20th Apr 2013		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - Sunday, Monday Or Always / You'll Never Know (1944)	Sorted.
TheJudge 10th Apr 2013		78 RPM M. Delaquerrière - Ce N'Est Que Votre Main, Madame / Une Poupée Parisienne (1929)	The top (as we look at it) of the stamp on the A-side seems to say 'PARIS', so French might be a better bet.
TheJudge 19th Mar 2013		78 RPM Dick James - You, You, You Are The One / I'd Rather Be Wrong Than Sorry (1949)	Thanks for adding all the dates in. Nice to know I was on the mark with most of them.
