Whyperion SUBS 5th May 2013		78 RPM The Playmates - Beep Beep / Your Love (1958)	I had thought that possibly at one time 'limousine' had been trade-marked , but the style ( and financial associations with it ) had derived from horse-drawn part covered carriages in the mid 19th century , according to wikipedia. The things one learns ..
Whyperion SUBS 5th May 2013		78 RPM Foden's Motor Works Band - Old Panama March / Post Horn Gallop (1934)	Harry Mortimer I understand was Bandmaster , and Solo Cornet at different times for Foden's Motor Works Band. [YouTube Video]

Whyperion SUBS 4th May 2013		78 RPM Unity Male Voice Choir - Red Cavalry Song / Extract Of Speech Made At Mass Rally, Empress Stadium, Earls Court London (1938)	Think should also add to Notes Issued By Russia To-Day Society Ltd
Whyperion SUBS 4th May 2013		78 RPM The Playmates - Beep Beep / Your Love (1958)	Can I take issue with Jock_Girl in that youtube and 45cat claim that the UK issue was modified to the supposedly more generic ' Limousine ' and ' Bubble Car ', so while the Roulette USA issue was on the BBC list , this one was not.
Whyperion SUBS 4th May 2013		78 RPM Tommy Dorsey - Swing Music 1937 Series (1937)	Which 'Sadko' I presume is based on the 1896 opera , which has Three visiting merchants, a Viking, an Indian and a Venetian, sing in turn of their homelands. Wiki has the Song of The Indian Guest embedded in the page.
Whyperion SUBS 4th May 2013		78 RPM Cliff Richard With The Drifters - High Class Baby / My Feet Hit The Ground (1958)	Jock_Girl's list of banned records make this suitable for a quiz as to which Cliff record was banned by the BBC. [YouTube Video]

Whyperion SUBS 4th May 2013		78 RPM George Hall - My Day Begins And Ends With You / I'm In A Dancing Mood (1937)	For The B Side Here's the movie clip , not this orchestra and song part has additional vocals not on R-Z's version. [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 24th Apr 2013		78 RPM The King Brothers - A White Sport Coat (And A Pink Carnation) / Minne-Minnehaha! (1957)	Added a couple of label scans showing no clear tax code print . Have adjusted label colour to a try to get a more deep scarlet than I usually remember 1950s Parlophone's to have. Were some contracted out pressings or printings as I guess a popular seller or just an early one through the ink one. Bought my copy today for 50p.
Whyperion SUBS 24th Apr 2013		78 RPM The King Brothers - A White Sport Coat (And A Pink Carnation) / Minne-Minnehaha! (1957)	Is that a typeset mistake on A Side showing 'The King Brothers With The King Brothers ' ?
Whyperion SUBS 24th Apr 2013		78 RPM The Five Smith Brothers - All Dressed Up With A Broken Heart / Underneath The Arches (1949)	Date guessed from other F23nn discs , A Side was a B Side in USA for Peggy Lee in 1948.
Whyperion SUBS 27th Mar 2013		78 RPM Sound Effects - English Train Noises / Underground Noises (1931)	Best Circle I can get from computer power and scanner showing the groove and track arrangement. B Side is similar but rather large run-out area.
Whyperion SUBS 27th Mar 2013		78 RPM Leopold Stokowski And The Philadelphia Orchestra - The Fire-Bird Suite (L'Oiseau De Feu) (1937)	I like to see the matrix numbers in the record notes , it can help for cross referencing - not that gold lettering is easy to view on disc or on scan. From the Stokowski site. Stokowski's 1935 recording of the Suite from the Firebird was released by Victor on three 12 inch (30 cm) Red Seal disks Victor Victor 8926, 8927 and 8928 a (with the Shostakovich Prelude opus 34 no 14 in e flat minor as orchestrated by Stokowski on side 8928 b). Matrices were: CS 92865-2, CS 92866-4, CS 92868-3, CS 92869-3 (later CS 92869-2A), and CS 92870-5. The Jeu des Princesses and Danse Infernale split matrix CS 92868-3. Stokowski at this time was in the habit of recording and releasing one take of a recording session, if he was happy with the playing of a familiar work. The continued difficulty of Stravinsky's Firebird in this era, even for a group such as the Philadelphia Orchestra is indicated by the high number of 'takes' necessary before Stokowski was satisfied with the result.
Whyperion SUBS 23rd Feb 2013		78 RPM The International Radio Orchestra - Tanks In Action / Air Raid Havoc (1940)	Are the tunes related to Shostakovich Symphony No.7 ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symphony_No._7_%28Shostakovich%29
Whyperion SUBS 18th Feb 2013		78 RPM [no artist listed] - Much Binding In The Marsh / Much Binding In The Marsh (1949)	Indeed Radio Broadcasts in the UK had no statutory copyright protection prior to 1957, even for commercial purposes ( 1 June 1957, the commencement date of the Copyright Act 1956 ).
Whyperion SUBS 16th Feb 2013		78 RPM Harry Davidson - Old Time Dance Series, No. 7 (1945)	Sorry Title: Old Time Dance Series A Side Prefix (No 7) B Side Prefix (No 7)
Whyperion SUBS 16th Feb 2013		78 RPM Teddy Weatherford - Sugar Foot Stomp / Cow Cow Boogie (1952)	I would guess that a Teddy Weatherford piano roll would be most likely to have been cut in USA , simply because of the technology and popularity of the reproducers being quite high in the States ?
Whyperion SUBS 15th Feb 2013		78 RPM Coventry Hippodrome Orchestra - Tommy's Tunes (1933)	Somewhat fittingly has a T tax code adhestive stamp on it. Should Note that Recorded at the Hippodrome - Coventry , as per label
Whyperion SUBS 15th Feb 2013		78 RPM Henry Hall - Teddy Bears' Picnic / Hush Hush Hush, Here Comes The Bogey Man (1942)	Did early pressings omit the Kennedy Credit , of this 1932 release - see ebook ( theres a hard copy about too ) of J J Kennedy - The Man Who Wrote the Teddy Bears' Picnic:. I thought this was released as Henry Hall and the B.B.C Dance Orchestra , or was, after Jack Payne had left the BBC, the recording was done by Henry Hall as the contract had not fully been done with the BBC in the early change-over.
Whyperion SUBS 15th Feb 2013		78 RPM Henry Hall - Teddy Bears' Picnic / Hush Hush Hush, Here Comes The Bogey Man (1942)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 15th Feb 2013		78 RPM Lou Preager - In A Little While / The Cokey Cokey (Novelty Dance) ( You Put Your Left Arm Out) (1945)	First one on here for both Lou Preager And the Hokey Cokey ( spelled here as Cokey Cokey as per Jimmy Kennedy's copyright of 1942) The Google Ebook - The Man Who Wrote the Teddy Bears' Picnic: How Irish-Born Lyricist and Composer Jimmy Kennedy Became One of the Twentieth Century's Finest Songwriters ), by son J J Kennedy , recounts how the hot version of Lou Preager's was one he particularly liked.
Whyperion SUBS 14th Feb 2013		78 RPM Stanley Holloway - With Her Head Tucked Undernneath Her Arm / The Beefeater (1934)	[YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 14th Feb 2013		78 RPM Reginald Dixon - Sousa March Medley (1940)	Lovely T tax code black on grey/blue background stamp i=on B side. One almost feels it to be a pleasure to pay taxes when the receipt is like that.
Whyperion SUBS 14th Feb 2013		78 RPM Norman Long - My Little Austin Seven / Monday Morning (1928)	Rose I think is Clarkson Rose
