whitewhale1965 9th Aug 2021		78 RPM Feodor Chaliapin - Song Of The Volga Boatmen / Song Of The Flea	Apologies for the less-than-awesome images due to a combination of poor skills and old technology.

whitewhale1965 29th Nov 2020		78 RPM Jack Arthur - Snow White / Snow White (1950)	added Christmas-themed labels from my 7 inch record
whitewhale1965 28th Nov 2020		78 RPM Jack Arthur - Snow White / Snow White (1950)	Are we certain this is a ten inch disc? {Format changed to 7". Mod.}
whitewhale1965 18th Nov 2020		78 RPM Ink Spots - Don't Believe Everything You Dream / A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening (1944)	It snapped off while I was placing it onto the glass. Snapped where my thumb was holding it.
whitewhale1965 18th Nov 2020		78 RPM Jane Froman - Gershwin Medley / Gems From "Oh Kay" (1938)	Exactly. MODs: this page can be removed with prejudice.
whitewhale1965 18th Nov 2020		78 RPM Jane Froman - Gershwin Medley / Gems From "Oh Kay" (1938)	This record looks like it may be part of an album set. The white ink stamp appearing on both labels reads "Used Record Sold By RCA Mfg. Co. To Its Employees Not To Be Resold".
whitewhale1965 18th Nov 2020		78 RPM Harold Smart - O Little Town Of Bethlehem / Joy To The World (1948)	I knew it. But I didn't know it.
whitewhale1965 18th Nov 2020		78 RPM John Barbirolli - Peer Gynt-Suite No. 1 No. 3-Anitra's Dance / Peer Gynt-Suite No. 1 No. 4-In The Hall Of The Mountain King	This looks like it could be part of an album.
whitewhale1965 18th Nov 2020		78 RPM Ink Spots - Don't Believe Everything You Dream / A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening (1944)	This particular copy snapped during the scanning process.
whitewhale1965 17th Nov 2020		78 RPM Sir Thomas Beecham Conducting The London Philharmonic Orchestra - Oberon: Overture (First Part) / Oberon: Overture (Completion)	I respectfully request changing the artist on this page to: Sir Thomas Beecham Conducting The London Philharmonic Orchestra to fit onto this list. ... and maybe lose the comment in the NOTES section. [Done! Thanks for pointing this out! Mod.]
whitewhale1965 17th Nov 2020		78 RPM Victor Orchestra - In A Clock Store (1907)	In A Clock Store [YouTube Video]
whitewhale1965 16th Nov 2020		78 RPM Igor Stravinsky Conducting The Philharmonic-Symphony Orch. Of New York - Four Norwegian Moods (1945)	I respectfully request changing the artist on this page to: Igor Stravinsky Conducting The Philharmonic-Symphony Orch. Of New York to fit onto this list. [Done! Mod.]
whitewhale1965 15th Nov 2020		78 RPM Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas (1945)	Good job! I wish I could have made the changes myself. It brings up the question of whether to post each of the discs separately or all onto one album page. Pros and cons for each, I guess.
whitewhale1965 15th Nov 2020		78 RPM Bing Crosby - White Christmas / Let's Start The New Year Right (1942)	The first set of labels are disc 2 (sides 3 & 4) of the 5 disc Canadian 78RPM Decca album No. A-403 "Merry Christmas" which is almost identical to the US album with the same title and cat#. The Canadian cat#s aren't the same as the US ones on the individual records.
whitewhale1965 15th Nov 2020		78 RPM Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas (1945)	Something is askew on this page. The NOTES redirect us to the 2nd disc -cat#18429- Which is White Christmas backed with Let's Start The New Year Right. That b-side track is not mentioned on this page nor the front cover of the album, but God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen appears twice.
whitewhale1965 15th Nov 2020		78 RPM Bing Crosby - Merry Christmas (1945)	NOTES say five records but only list 4. Mod Edit..sorry I missed 23281 This cover is the same as the one on the Canadian release including the "Made in the United States of America" Union Label printed inside the back cover. The individual cat#s are different from the US version.
whitewhale1965 15th Nov 2020		78 RPM Bing Crosby And The Andrews Sisters - Jingle Bells / Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town (1943)	What is the reason for the words "Album A-403 10 sides--9" not appearing on the a-side label? Were the 5 records released separately as well?
whitewhale1965 14th Nov 2020		78 RPM The Caroleers - The Night Before Christmas / It Came Upon A Midnight Clear (1950)	dark orange wax
whitewhale1965 14th Nov 2020		78 RPM Stan Freberg - St. George And The Dragonet / Little Blue Riding Hood (1953)	Added alternate a-side. Added the b-side because the fonts may also differ.
whitewhale1965 9th Nov 2020		78 RPM Tony Martin - Tell Me (You Will Love Me Forever) / Kiss Of Fire (1952)	No. I adjusted it to what it actually looks like. The gold print could be brighter but I think it's a faithful reproduction. About the print shop... I just figured everyone knew jpg is the standard.
whitewhale1965 8th Nov 2020		78 RPM Tony Martin - Tell Me (You Will Love Me Forever) / Kiss Of Fire (1952)	I couldn't get a good scan of this label. I couldn't get a decent photo of it either. So finally I took it to my local Staples store and had them scan it on their commercial / computerized machine. The scans were readable, the colours a bit off, but I didn't realize until I got them home that it was a PDF file! Long story short - I'm glad this page is finished.
whitewhale1965 3rd Nov 2020		78 RPM William Halley - They Don't Hesitate Any More / He'd Push It Along (1914)	This 85cent record would cost US$21.84 in 2020.
whitewhale1965 31st Oct 2020		78 RPM Lieut. Jim Europe's 369th U.S. Inf. (Hell Fighters) Band - Darktown Strutters' Ball / Indianola (1919)	$0.90 in 1919 had the same purchasing power as $14.01 in 2020.
whitewhale1965 31st Jul 2020		78 RPM Gary Crosby And Bing Crosby - Play A Simple Melody / Sam's Song (The Happy Tune) (1950)	Beautiful. That's how this whole thing is supposed to work.
whitewhale1965 22nd Jul 2020		78 RPM Rosa And Carmela Ponselle - Comin' Thro The Rye (1920)	This is single-sided but there is a label on the dead side?
whitewhale1965 26th May 2020		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Trains (1937)	Is this a sound effects recording from the 30s? Wow.
whitewhale1965 8th May 2020		78 RPM Carmen Miranda - Ca-room' Pa-Pa / Yipsee-I-O (1950)	It's odd that the Andrews Sisters aren't mentioned on these labels. They recorded these songs with Miranda for the movie. Did Carmen Miranda record separate solo versions?
