Whyperion SUBS 23rd Jun 2013		78 RPM Roy Brown - Let The Four Winds Blow / Diddy-Y-Diddy-O (1957)	Video , is showing a 45usa release , sorry. A little bit too treble ranged for my liking of this tune. [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 23rd Jun 2013		78 RPM Chuck Berry - Maybellene / Wee Wee Hours (1955)	Just watching BBC4 'The Kings Of Rock ' n ' Roll' , and its got to Chuck Berry , looking up what we have so far ( limited ) the early Chess Records 78s are on the label , in the notes here , as Chuck Berry and His Combo. Seeing as I understand Chuck (alone ?) went into Chess , saying Muddy Waters sent him , the Combo I guessed was in this instance the house band. I understand Leonard Chess added Bass Player and Maracas ( Wikipedia ), the Wikipedia page also mentions these were added to 'the Trio' , which looking up Johnnie (Clyde) Johnson was Johnnie Johnson on Piano and and Ebby Hardy on Drums, the three performed as The Sir John Trio in live clubs. Berry having replaced saxophonist Alvin Bennett (Due to Bennett's Stroke) on New Year's Eve , 1952 Johnnie Johnson's recollections of the naming of "Maybellene" and those of Marshall Chess reported in the above program differ slightly. Wee Wee Hours was an instrumental that Johnson had been playing for some years , Berry added lyrics to it for the recording session.

Whyperion SUBS 22nd Jun 2013		78 RPM Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys - Steel Guitar Rag / Swing Blues #1 (1940)	[YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 15th Jun 2013		78 RPM Hank Williams With His Drifting Cowboys - Nobody's Lonesome For Me / Mind Your Own Business (1952)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 21st May 2013		78 RPM Leslie Sarony - Don't Do That To The Poor Puss Cat / Don't Be Cruel To A Vegetabuel (1928)	[YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 21st May 2013		78 RPM Leslie Sarony - In The Woodshed She Said She Would / Don't Do That To The Poor Puss Cat (1928)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 21st May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cole - Mucking About The Garden / The Chicken Or The Egg (1929)	[YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 21st May 2013		78 RPM Eddie Cochran - Somethin' Else / Boll Weevil Song (1959)	Possibly the DPI they were scanned at or size commpressed to , maybe now expanded , but most UK Londons have a black edge to the silver part , see https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/hl8764 , maybe just cut the circle too tight.
Whyperion SUBS 15th May 2013		78 RPM Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five - Ration Blues / Is You Is Or Is You Ain't (Ma' Baby) (1944)	A Louis Jordan Version from the 1944 Movie Follow The Boys. Louis seemed to re-cut and broadcast slightly differing versions of his tunes over the years. From Solid Serenade, 31 August 1946 musical supervision by Scott Bradley. T&J Sounds a little like Cab Calloway , but could have been an in house MGM Orchestra/ Band. Quimby/ MGM Tom and Jerry's are total classics , much missed off the 10min infills on BBC telly , the quality ( the intenals of Jerry's home , hand-drawn just wonderful in colour) (I only had a black and white telly) , humour , music (Oscar Winning) . Added 1944 As year of release , fits other Brunswick releases on cat number and fits with movie release. Another clip from the start of film , showing the background music for start.
Whyperion SUBS 14th May 2013		78 RPM Peter Lind Hayes - Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It? / That Certain Party (1949)	Already I have mention on Brunswick 1080 (His Old Cornet) from 1930 the composer's use of ' The Cows Went Dry and the Hens Wouldn't Lay ' in a song ?, - reprised in a slightly different tempo by Carson Robison for Peter Lind Hayes' 1948 Life Gets Tee-Jus, Don't It?
Whyperion SUBS 14th May 2013		78 RPM Randolph Sutton - Oh, Maggie, What Have You Been Up To? / Mucking About The Garden (1929)	B Side , the Version by Clarkson Rose , https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/5429 , credits Q Cumber as the writer [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 14th May 2013		78 RPM Jack Hylton's Kit-Cat Band - Dreaming The Waltz Away / While The Years Go Drifting By (1926)	Copyright in a film expires 70 years after the end of the year in which the death occurs of the last to survive of the principal director, the authors of the screenplay and dialogue, and the composer of any music specially created for the film. In other words by the time they are dead , so , generally , is anyone whom might have a passing interest in the subject , etc. Even if out of copyright it does not stop anyone charging for a copy of any original or otherwise they may have in their possession or on their website. However , Copyright in a broadcast expires 50 years from the end of the year of making of the broadcast. Which is interesting as some Pathe newsreels were shown in theatres as relay cable broadcasts using the Baird and similar systems in the late 1940s. I am not certain if newsreels are classed as films ( which one thinks of as 'entertainment' ) or not , the statue does not make clear , requiring a knowledge of legal judgements.
Whyperion SUBS 14th May 2013		78 RPM Chitalkar And Meena Kapur - Hindustani Film Track	HMV Gold on Red nearly invisible at best of times , in Indian Writing ( which I dont have keyboard for ) even more so. If anyone can correct and check composer credits etc that would be good.
Whyperion SUBS 11th May 2013		78 RPM New Light Symphony Orchestra - Barcarolle (1926)	I don't think my labels are really quite that red , more closer to the maroon, but my barcarolle label is the larger on my disc. I think it ranges from label size as random to often trying to balance the runoff area proportion to same amount , so depends on track length rather than A/B considerations
Whyperion SUBS 11th May 2013		78 RPM Barrel Organ - Waltz Song, From A Waltz Dream / Red Roses, From The Man With Three Wives (1909)	Somehow I doubt this actual disk dates from 1909, more likely late 1920s or early 1930s , must have been on catalogue for some years.
Whyperion SUBS 11th May 2013		78 RPM Webster And Richardson - Fairings / Come To The Fair (1924)	Mecolico Copyright stamps for this disc 3/4d per side.
Whyperion SUBS 11th May 2013		78 RPM The Campfire Cowboys - Hill Billy Medley, No. 7 / Hill Billy Medley No.8 (1943)	Mum tells me once a week at the Lamp Factory (in the later stages of war and after ) , they could bring in their own records , and a person would be designated weekly to change the disc after each play. I think the rest of the time they had the radio on.
Whyperion SUBS 11th May 2013		78 RPM Payne And Woodville - When The Christmas Bells Are Ringing / Let's All Be Good Pals Together (1921)	Couple of Nice Herman Darewski M P 1d Copyright Stamps on this disc.
Whyperion SUBS 11th May 2013		78 RPM The Jolly Old Fellows - Chorus Hits Of Yesterday, Part 3 / Chorus Hits Of Yesterday, Part 4 (1929)	Added slightly more plum shade labels with no . in matrix numbers
Whyperion SUBS 11th May 2013		78 RPM The Campfire Cowboys - Hill Billy Medley, No. 7 / Hill Billy Medley No.8 (1943)	Seems reasonable idea , were they free of purchase tax for workers moral ?
Whyperion SUBS 10th May 2013		78 RPM Moran And Mack - Two Black Crows, Part 3 / Two Black Crows, Part 4 (1927)	My labels and with no . in matrix print
Whyperion SUBS 10th May 2013		78 RPM The Crickets - That'll Be The Day / I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love (1957)	Checking other Vogue Coral ( the Coral USA issues have names separated by - ) . labels on 45cat , the typesetting is the same , but generally they use , between twin composer credits but used a ; on another record one in Sept 1957 , so it might just have been how they read it in the typesetting department , spooky though.
Whyperion SUBS 10th May 2013		78 RPM The Crickets - That'll Be The Day / I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love (1957)	At a guess because Allison, Holly wrote the song/s , Petty at best 'arranged' , I suppose code that the writing credits Norman Petty claimed on his signed acts ( for more royalties ) were dubious.
Whyperion SUBS 10th May 2013		78 RPM The Crickets - That'll Be The Day / I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love (1957)	Decca Group +1P Is a tax code
Whyperion SUBS 10th May 2013		78 RPM George Hall - My Day Begins And Ends With You / I'm In A Dancing Mood (1937)	Just broken my copy , moved some others for scanning ( I have too many spaces in the upright storage unit temporily and they fell over breaking one segment out) , Its only lasted 64 years of house moves and plays , I have a poor tape copy of the audio so not totally lost , but I would not mind another one.
Whyperion SUBS 9th May 2013		78 RPM Frankie Vaughan - Happy Days And Lonely Nights / Danger Signs (1954)	45 7M270
Whyperion SUBS 8th May 2013		78 RPM The Crickets - That'll Be The Day / I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love (1957)	It could be a Buckingham Code ( fits with the H on Teresa Brewer ) , but why the other labels dont have it is more of a mystery , but maybe it is supossed to be a W , just cos it does not look like one as we may think , the person feeding the stamper might have picked up the wrong letter punch as it would be in reverse ? or mis read the typists notes for the change of tax code. Possibly too an older stamper brought into use with the popularity of the track sending the demand higher than anticipated ?
Whyperion SUBS 6th May 2013		78 RPM Anton Karas - The "Harry Lime" Theme / The Cafe Mozart Waltz (1949)	I P Tax Code + NCB Box label added , the copyrights etc box is printed higher up than the other details so minor overall detail changes
Whyperion SUBS 6th May 2013		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - I Begged Her / I Fall In Love Too Easily (1945)	Any idea why what I think is a UK disc has a France Melodie Paris Copyrights panel ?
