TopPopper 26th May 2018		78 RPM The Beatles - Can't Buy Me Love / You Can't Do That (1964)	Improved images added
TopPopper 30th Mar 2018		78 RPM Janet Eden - Come Go With Me / Walkin After Midnight (1957)	Beatles fans will know of "Come Go With Me" - John Lennon was playing it on stage with his band, The Quarrymen, when Paul McCartney first saw and heard him.
TopPopper 23rd Nov 2017		78 RPM Texas Jim Robertson - Don't Look Now (But Your Broken Heart Is Stolen) / It Takes A Long, Long Train With A Red Caboose (To Carry My Blues Away) (1947)	Have made the new labels primary. What are the differences, by the way?
TopPopper 11th Jun 2017		78 RPM Blue Barron - Let Me In / Somebody's Thinking Of You Tonight (1951)	Can anyone confirm the label name? There's a label called MGM Golden Circle. Should that be it?
TopPopper 1st Oct 2016		78 RPM Billy Murray - The Grand Old Rag (1906)	I don't disagree, but the house style is to show the label. I think we should crop it and have the image with the etchings as a second image.
TopPopper 28th Sep 2016		78 RPM [no artist listed] - [untitled] / [untitled]	I have to say, when I first obtained this disc, I checked this very site for any other entries and didn't find any. The reason of course was that I searched for "Voice Records" rather than just Voice. I think others would tend to do that too - and if they were to just search for Voice, then Voice Records would show up anyway. So what I'm trying to say is, good change!
TopPopper 26th Sep 2016		78 RPM Victor Silvester And His Ballroom Orchestra - Till Then / My Heart Isn't In It (1947)	Main image could do with cropping again - it seems to include a white border, making the label appear smaller than usual.
TopPopper 26th Sep 2016		78 RPM [no artist listed] - [untitled] / [untitled]	I thought it was better with "records" - it's part of the name really, unlike, say "Parlophone Records" or "Decca Records". The gimmick is that you can record your own voice onto disc, hence you can make a "voice record". I'd never heard of them before - pleased to see a couple of others on the site.
TopPopper 24th Sep 2016		78 RPM Billy Murray - The Grand Old Rag (1906)	Is there a reason for it to be cropped like this, with the etchings visible? If not, we can crop to the label edge.
TopPopper 24th Sep 2016		78 RPM [no artist listed] - [untitled] / [untitled]	Hope this is OK to stay on the site. It's a curious little record I found today - aluminium playing surface! I managed to find out a little via Google, like here.
TopPopper 15th Aug 2016		78 RPM Mr. Albert Whelan - Why Not Nationalize The Ladies / Susan Shy Shyly Sighed (1920)	I noticed that too and I think it's probably correct - although I don't know much about these old records. As he nominates the correct performer, maybe we should change this listing?
TopPopper 15th Aug 2016		78 RPM Mr. Albert Whelan - Why Not Nationalize The Ladies / Susan Shy Shyly Sighed (1920)	B-side title added from this source. The site lists the two sides other way around - not sure how to tell if there's an A-side or not.
TopPopper 8th Nov 2015		78 RPM Bing Crosby - It's A Lonely Trail (1939)	I think the continuous note on the B side is a test signal. Some vinly LPs had them on the promo copies. The label here looks like a standard white label, so I would guess this is a promo copy.
TopPopper 6th Oct 2015		78 RPM Larry Clinton - Vaya Con Dios / P.S. I Love You (1954)	very interesting to see that song title on the B side.
TopPopper 26th Aug 2015		78 RPM Steve Stannard - Perfidia / Pepe (1961)	How about this one?
TopPopper 3rd Apr 2015		78 RPM Larry Cross - Westward Ho The Wagons / Wringle Wrangle (1957)	Bung it on youtube and give us a link!
TopPopper 14th Feb 2015		Cylinder New York Military Band - Knights Of Columbus (1910)	I'm pretty sure it's a cylendar - check the label listing. If we don't get a definite reply from Scrough, I think we should go ahead and change it.
TopPopper 12th Feb 2015		78 RPM Rosco Gordon - Rosco's Mambo / Ain't No Use (1953)	Duplicate entry? I think this record's already listed. [mod: merged]
TopPopper 31st Jan 2015		78 RPM Phil Harris - The Dark Town Poker Club / Jelly Bean (1945)	Edited scan added.
TopPopper 31st Jan 2015		78 RPM Milton Cross - The Story Of Cinderella Pt. I / The Story Of Cinderella Pt. II (1940)	I've had a go at improving the images. Thanks to SeberHusky.
TopPopper 4th Oct 2014		78 RPM Robbie Williams - Millennium / Nimrod, Enigma Variations, Op. 36 (2000)	I saw a copy at Spittalfields Market yesterday. Didn't know it existed. I thought about buying it to add to the site (before I knew it was here already) but I would have felt dirty.
TopPopper 30th Aug 2014		78 RPM Bing Crosby - When You Dream About Hawaii / Sail Along Silv'ry Moon (1939)	Labels edited.
TopPopper 5th Aug 2014		78 RPM The Beatles - Long Tall Sally / I Call Your Name (1964)	Agreed. Changed.
TopPopper 16th Jul 2014		78 RPM Jascha Heifetz, Arturo Toscanini, NBC Symphony Orchestra - Beethoven Concerto In D, Op. 61 (1940)	So do two of these discs have blank B-sides? Seems odd.
TopPopper 13th Dec 2013		78 RPM The B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra - The Planets Suite, Op. 32. Records 10, 11. (1945)	Rather than being called "records" 10 and 11, shouldn't these be called something like "parts" 10 and 11? It makes it sound as if this is a two-record release. Same goes for the rest of the 78s in the suite.
TopPopper 18th Nov 2013		78 RPM Marion Williams - Somebody Bad Stole De Wedding Bell / Lovin' Spree (1954)	Soundalike cover version to exploit the hits? Just what Embassy were doing in the UK around then...
TopPopper 8th Nov 2013		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Charge De L'armée Française (1903)	Cylinders were a much better idea. Constant play speed.
TopPopper 20th Oct 2013		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Unknown / Unknown (1953)	Sounds like the top two in a talent contest. Private pressing, I would think.
TopPopper 16th Jun 2013		78 RPM Frank Robert - Julekort / Ola Dekksgutt Fra Flekkefjord (1953)	Do you still have them in their original state? It would be nice to see them as they look in the flesh as well.
TopPopper 11th Apr 2013		78 RPM The Top Hits Of The Month Record Club Orchestra And Vocalists - Seventeen / Hummingbird (1955)	Added - label scans and images of original packaging. This record was sold by mail order only, and photos show the original mailing box, and a section of the branded tape used on it (the printed pattern repeated along the length of the tape). Original paper sleeve is lost.
