Whyperion SUBS 14th Sep 2024		78 RPM Bill Haley And The Saddlemen - Green Tree Boogie / Down Deep In My Heart (1951)	B Side Direct Play [YouTube Video] YT Notes -"'Bill Haley and the Saddlemen' with "Down Deep In My Heart" recorded from the original 78 rpm US shellac single on Holiday 108. "Down Deep In My Heart" was released in the US in August 1951 as B-side to "Green Tree Boogie". The song was recorded on June 14, 1951 at WVCH Studio in Chester, Pennsylvania with Bill Haley on vocal and rhythm guitar, Danny Cedrone on electric lead guitar, Billy Williamson on steel guitar, Al Rex on double bass and Johnny Grande on piano. Words and music by Bill Haley. Video recorded by Antoon van Olderen using an audio-technica player model AT-LP1240-USB with an Ortofon 2M 78 MM-stylus and audio captured off air via a Driade D 71 MK II speaker. This video is a recorded live demonstration of a playback of the 78 RPM shellac format on modern day equipment and is shared for archival and research purposes.
Whyperion SUBS 5th Sep 2024		78 RPM Four Matys Bros. - Wasting My Tears On You / We're Gonna Rock	Frany presumable Franny Becher ? The combo was signed with Bill Haley and into the Essex group of labels, wikipedia suggests that they were around 1954 to 1956
Whyperion SUBS 15th Feb 2024		78 RPM Tommy Steele - The Truth About Me (1957)	[YouTube Video] audio
Whyperion SUBS 9th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Esquire Boys - Bye Bye Blues / Play Me Boogie (1955)	[YouTube Video] The YT comment on the 45 suggests one person had the 78 in their collection. Understood to be first release after death of Danny Cedrone
Whyperion SUBS 9th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Guitars Two - Wang Wang Blues / Dig-A-Doo (1955)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] I Understand Media was one of Dave Miller's (Holiday and Essex) labels. YT uploader muses Dig-A-Doo sounding like the Esquire Boys, noting Danny Cedrone had died by this release, could it be Orlando Scaltrito a.k.a "Bob Scale" who plays guitar on this? Bob Scaltrito played also guitar on "Green Tree Boogie" by Bill Haley & The Saddlemen
Whyperion SUBS 6th Jan 2024		78 RPM Lee Konitz - Mean To Me / Skylark (1955)	Info from printed sources, see forum note and confirming that I came across a plain brown sleeve with V 2343 pencilled on it from an acquired collection of UK 78s in London.
Whyperion SUBS 3rd Jan 2024		78 RPM Renee Chemet - Waltz / Poem (1924)	Images of 1922 release on discogs. my pressing seems later poss 1932
Whyperion SUBS 3rd Jan 2024		78 RPM The Stargazers - Somebody / (My Baby Don't Love Me) No More (1955)	I have a disc with a round Edward Kassner publisher logo
Whyperion SUBS 3rd Jan 2024		78 RPM Ronnie Hilton - The Yellow Rose Of Texas / Have You Ever Been Lonely (Have You Ever Been Blue) (1955)	most seem to have a RT tax code, anyone got discs with others/none ?
Whyperion SUBS 28th Dec 2023		78 RPM The Carter Family - Don't Forget This Song / The Little Log Hut In The Lane	There must have been an accounting reason for specifically placing this in The Gramophone Company Ltd. But if it is not UK, why have Purchase Tax codes (habit?)
Whyperion SUBS 28th Dec 2023		78 RPM The Ambassadors Twelve - The Queen Was In The Parlour / We All Fell (1931)	JW385 JW404 aka Jay Wilbur and His Orchestra [YouTube Video] Vocal attributed by some to Les Allen [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 15th Dec 2023		78 RPM The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon - Why Do Fools Fall In Love / Please Be Mine (1956)	The Sax break on this in the middle is superb
Whyperion SUBS 7th Dec 2023		78 RPM Bill Haley With The Saddlemen - Jukebox Cannonball / Sundown Boogie (1952)	Hank Williams wrote Move It On Over in 1947 , in late 1951 Bill Haley recycled it into Sundown Boogie. Did Hank ever know/care of the similarity or had the rockcountry beat become so common that it was effectively a public domain genre
Whyperion SUBS 1st Dec 2023		78 RPM The California Ramblers - Gotta Go To Work Again / Sing An Old Fashioned Song (To A Young Sophisticated Lady) (1936)	A Side Audio https://ia903002.us.archive.org/2/items/78_gotta-go-to-work-again_the-california-ramblers-eddy-lloyd-milton-pascal-edgar-fairc_gbia0160100a/GOTTA%20GO%20TO%20WORK%20AGAIN%20-%20The%20California%20Ramblers.mp3
Whyperion SUBS 20th Nov 2023		78 RPM Layton And Johnstone - The Birth Of The Blues / Lido Lady (1927)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video] Vids, not really my scene the tunes passable but dont quite hit it. Even if we have Whipperwill in the lyrics again
Whyperion SUBS 30th Oct 2023		78 RPM Frank Lee's Tara Ceilidh Band - Irish Jigs / Let's Have A Knees Up (1937)	Images at Discogs
Whyperion SUBS 30th Oct 2023		78 RPM Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls Of Fire / Mean Woman Blues (1957)	£25 value on discogs probably fairer
Whyperion SUBS 29th Oct 2023		78 RPM Tommy Sands - Teen-age Crush / Hep Dee Hootie (Cutie Wootie) (1957)	is it my eyesight or are black label versions of this avalible ?
Whyperion SUBS 29th Oct 2023		78 RPM Roy Orbison - Only The Lonely (Know How I Feel) / Here Comes That Song Again (1960)	I think the only person that might have bought this would be the far end of Scotland or somewhere like that. The 45 collection I acquired had a good few 78s in it ,but the London (town) owner had a fairly clear 1957ish cut off for switching to buying 45s with only a few 78s that were either parents or only on 78 at time of issue. Unfortunately my friend who worked at Decca in Battersea was on radar/radar parts rather than discs so I cannot ask him if he remembers.
Whyperion SUBS 16th Oct 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender / Any Way You Want Me (That's How I Will Be) (1956)	NME of 12 Oct 1956 ran with story that Elvis had recorded the four songs in "Love Me Tender" by that date. NME 16 Nov 1956 had Hound Dog still selling at chart position 3 and Blue Moon in at 15. Love Me Tender in the US was Number 1 , as it had been previous week.
Whyperion SUBS 16th Oct 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Tryin' To Get To You / Lawdy, Miss Clawdy (1957)	Answering Maxonian, I think the HMV/EMI agreement with RCA expired end 1957 (though RCA for NEW releases had contracted with Decca for the UK before then). So the HMV label ones you will find are either on Sun in the US or were previous LP/EP tracks not always issued on a RCA Single in the US.
Whyperion SUBS 16th Oct 2023		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Mystery Train / Love Me (1957)	Mystery Train from Sun USA 223 Love Me appears not to have been issued as a single in the US (was on RCA Victor USA EPA 992 (EP 1956)
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM Lucienne Boyer - Des Mots Nouveaux / Je Ne Savais Pas (1932)	Picked up at the weekend what appears to be an unplayed / untouched (till I dropped my fingerprints over it) copy of this amazing condition for a pre WW2 pressing.
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM Grand Massed Brass Bands - Deep Harmony (Sweet Is The Work, My God My King) / Rimington (Jesus Shall Reign) (1932)	Later released as A Side of Columbia EP – SEG 7610
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM Jean Cavall - Mayoumba / Parlez-Moi D'Amour (1947)	Another Jean Cavall in a small collection picked up at the weekend. I might get poor images up in due course
Whyperion SUBS 6th Mar 2023		78 RPM The Stargazers - Somebody / (My Baby Don't Love Me) No More (1955)	I have a pressing that has the slightly darker blue decca label
Whyperion SUBS 5th Mar 2023		78 RPM Ella Fitzgerald - Sentimental Journey / That's My Desire (1947)	Offered on discogs ( poss label / tax code variation/s) for GBP30 my one has Decca H embossed on one side (tax code or the oddities of Decca)
Whyperion SUBS 5th Mar 2023		78 RPM Rikki Henderson - Stay / Are You Lonesome Tonight? (1961)	I think my comment was based on a reading of how Oriole worked with the learning of the music mon tues, record weds , press thurs and out to shops friday (roughtly) of course Oriole were pressing their own stuff too, and added the 45 line AND created LPs either from existing recordings or more recordings, I would imagine the LP / EP lines were stocked either Friday night for Saturday sales or Monday to stock up Tuesday as that would be "slack" in the stores.
Whyperion SUBS 5th Mar 2023		78 RPM Alma Cogan - Love And Marriage / Sycamore Tree (1956)	Are all the labels a mid (french?) blue with scanning interpretation or did the ink run change. All release are R/T Tax Code ? Is this really worth a fiver in the UK to a buyer ?
Whyperion SUBS 3rd Mar 2023		78 RPM Ted Heath And His Music - Tequila / Little Serenade (Piccolissima Serenata) (1958)	[YouTube Video] Little Serenade
