Twitster 5th Jan 2015		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Anytime, Anyday, Anywhere / Wistful And Blue (1937)	Although one wouldn't know it from the rather forgettable "Wistful And Blue", which Ruth Etting co-wrote, she was a much sought-after star of radio, stage, movies and recordings during the 1920s-'30s. More information on her quite interesting life may be found here.

Twitster 1st Jan 2015		78 RPM Glenn Miller - In The Mood / Out Of Space (1940)	634557/558: Similar to 631548/549 except for the embossed "S T" at the center hole on the B side label, font differences and the copyright information printed along the rim of the each of the labels. This would be a third variation I've rounded up. There are still two others which await suitable examples for posting.
Twitster 31st Dec 2014		78 RPM Bessie Smith - The St. Louis Blues / Cold In Hand Blues (1925)	Side B: Recorded January 14, 1925 in New York City, matrix number 140250-1. Two takes of this title were recorded during the session. 140250-2 also was issued under this catalog number. Bessie Smith, vocal Louis Armstrong, cornet Fred Longshaw, piano
Twitster 30th Dec 2014		78 RPM Elvis Presley With The Jordanaires - Loving You / (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear	This is a 1970's reissue
Twitster 29th Dec 2014		78 RPM Al Goodman - "Up In Central Park" Medley Part 1 / "Up In Central Park" Medley Part 2 (1945)	Side A and B: Miss Munsel has been wrongly identified as "Patricia" on both sides of the issue. Her first name is actually Patrice.
Twitster 29th Dec 2014		78 RPM Glenn Miller - In The Mood / Out Of Space (1940)	I've seen two additional variations. However, neither are complete sets and are of such poor quality that they really aren't worth bothering with. Unless I'm filling in to complete a set for someone who has failed to post either an A or B side label, I don't post material until I have the complete set. It saves a lot of headaches for someone else to search out the mate and it provides any researcher or collector interested in the entry a clear graphic representation of exactly what to look for on both sides to determine its validity as a proper and true pressing.
Twitster 29th Dec 2014		78 RPM Jiminy Cricket And Chorus - Walt Disney's Pinocchio (1940)	444058/059: Graphics edited to bring them into compliance with the site's formatting standards (i. e., removed black background area).
Twitster 29th Dec 2014		78 RPM Glenn Miller - In The Mood / Out Of Space (1940)	Added the B side example of Redpunk's post (631481).
Twitster 26th Dec 2014		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Moonlight Cocktail / Slumber Song (1944)	629346/348: A few sites I've run across on Ebay and elsewhere have described this particular issue as a first pressing example. I leave it to others to make a determination of the accuracy of their claim.
Twitster 26th Dec 2014		78 RPM Glenn Miller - Moonlight Cocktail / Slumber Song (1944)	448037: Graphic edited to bring it into compliance with site formatting standards.
Twitster 24th Dec 2014		78 RPM The Pony-Tails - Born Too Late / Come On Joey Dance With Me (1958)	Thank you Redpunk for the fine addition. It's the seemingly insignificant and overlooked differences in the content, typeface and layout which transform the record from a dime-a-dozen common pressing to a find worth thousands. A very good example of this is an Elvis Presley Extended Play issue found here

Twitster 16th Dec 2014		78 RPM Jimmy Reed - I Don't Go For That / She Don't Want Me No More (1955)	According to information found at http://www.wirz.de/music/reedjfrm.htm: Recorded on July 18, 1955 in Chicago, IL First Billboard review published on September 17, 1955 within their "Reviews of New R & B Records" article on page 57 Produced by Calvin Carter Jimmy Reed, vocal, harmonica, guitar Henry Gray, piano W.C.

Twitster 11th Dec 2014		78 RPM Charlie Gracie - Butterfly / Ninety-Nine Ways (1957)	Actor and teen heartthrob Tab Hunter also recorded "Ninety-Nine Ways" on the Dot label, which hit the charts in March, 1957 and rose to #11. Sheet music for the tune also credits music and lyrics to Anthony September (Tony Mammarella) who was the producer on Dick Clark's "American Bandstand". In all likelihood, both of these hits were written by Bernie Lowe and Kal Mann, but credited to September in hopes of greasing some palms to get them out before the public on "Bandstand". This was the era of payola during which time a lot of artists and composers were screwed out of significant amounts of royalities through some very dodgy but common practices during this timeframe until such activities came to an end in the late 1950s early 1960s following Congressional hearings on the matter.
