Whyperion SUBS 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Amos And Andy (Correll And Gosden) - Is Everybody In Your Family As Dumb As You Is? (1929)	Original scans do have a greenish hue on my computer , and some 'squiggles as can be seen on the original scans' doing my adjust level on the originals gives me a washed out images completely , so resized to 80% and 300 dpi , then circled then saved as jpg 99%ish , was not particulary green when I saved but bringing it int 78rpm gave rise to the green shading I note, so re-open files on my laptop and they had the green shade , adjusted level and got the black levels back ( assuming the label is a darker black ) , re- uploaded as new pictures. Take your pick and delete what you dont want. Why paint.net is changing the shade on my first saving to disc is a bit of a mystery.
Whyperion SUBS 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Amos And Andy (Correll And Gosden) - Is Everybody In Your Family As Dumb As You Is? (1929)	I have re done a scan showing the gold lettering , but I remember the original was showing up blotchy on the black , reading 45cat notes on editing looks like I should have adjusted DPI to give better interpolation to change things , I dont think I can get paint to layer the gold lettering over the black background ( I am not that clever ). I note the same problem has happened with a couple of other scans from Louis on Victor that have been edited by others , it may be Louis scanner / camera / program that is coding the black in a different way to how paint etc is expecting. Should I get scanning on my own 78s I am dreading trying to get 3 assorted shades of plum on His Master's Voice correct. Sorry for the aggro , but its better to clear up these little niggles in the early days of 78rpm world. I have similar problems over on 45cat that I might try out on my own scans of 1970s CBS labels getting the orange shade correct.

Whyperion SUBS 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Ann Stephens - Ann's Nursery Rhymes Part 1 / Ann's Nursery Rhymes Part 2 (1941)	Even I did not know quite what artist to put down , given the length of the additional featured credit narrative. Tax Code T on my copy

Whyperion SUBS 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Amos And Andy (Correll And Gosden) - Is Everybody In Your Family As Dumb As You Is? (1929)	Used paint to make labels circular , maybe in the jpg down to about 96% of original size the computer has rendered the black to a different shade , which I did not touch , database should still have the original scans in it. I have the Paint.net of B side still , which I have clicked on Auto-Level ( learn a new trick every day ) , which has made the green-ish hue go away and back to black , presumably same would occur on the original A side or my edit of. I'll ask a mod to let them be re-editable , will upload B again , see what you think. Downloaded A side label and done same modification to it as well. I will pop the comment about adjustments / auto adjust ( which I have used in Windows photo viewer on my own pictures ) and also ask about png vs jpg as being better for less loss of clarity.
Whyperion SUBS 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Little Richard - Keep A Knockin' / Can't Believe You Wanna Leave (1957)	YouTube's mangling of most sound + my rough laptop speakers don't help either , and the original deck is what I guess most teenagers had , but it does seem like some in your collection do have something extra to give, possibly better than the company's 45 issues , if you get time .
Whyperion SUBS 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Little Richard - Keep A Knockin' / Can't Believe You Wanna Leave (1957)	[YouTube Video] Sounds pretty good , what will it be like when Sid gets a decent music system ! But did Mr Penniman borrow lyrics and tune base from 1939 ? [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 13th Feb 2013		78 RPM Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five - Ain't That Just Like A Woman (They'll Do It Every Time) / If It's Love You Want Baby, That's Me (1946)	[YouTube Video]

Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Debroy Somers Band - Fairy On The Clock / On Her Doorstep Last Night (1929)	How to confuse me , two different dance bands , each playing tunes that are also played on other records by yet more dance orchestras. On her doorstep has some different words to Jack Jackson's version.
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Louis Jordan And His Tympany Five - Pinetop's Boogie Woogie / Saxa-Woogie (1948)	[YouTube Video]

Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Fred Astaire - Love Of My Life / Me And The Ghost Upstairs (1941)	[YouTube Video] Not certain which clip / audio track is actually on the Columbia Track , from a 20 year old memory It seems differentish to this one
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM The Counts - Darling Dear / I Need You Always (1954)	[YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Hank Williams With His Drifting Cowboys - Jambalaya (On The Bayou) / Window Shopping (1952)	Thanks , makes sense with the BBC radio / TV features on the birth of the LP, which mentioned vynlyite (Union Carbide Trade Mark ) http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/629579/Vinylite Britannica tells us this was in 1930, I guess that RCA's use of this was determined by cost , Shellac was cheap (?) , comparatively, at least until US entered WW2 and the import of the raw materials for Shellac was restricted accross the Pacific ( so how come in UK enough Shellac remained for domestic usage - or did the high taxes mean actual disc sales in UK were relatively low ?
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Bing Crosby - McNamara's Band / Dear Old Donegal (1946)	Late label style for me , with R/T Tax Code (1955-1957)
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Albert Ammons And His Rhythm Kings - Nagasaki / Boogie-Woogie Stomp (1936)	[YouTube Video] Honestly a personal / group name as this causes a cockney like me real trouble with me haitches added and homitted
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Jelly Roll Morton - The Pearls / King Porter Stomp (1944)	With a TT tax code the above record would date from around 1943. (1944 from the cat number sequencing ) The course of disc collation never goes smooth , the one in front of me has an N tax code , 10 years later. King Porter Stomp retains its B Side , but adjacent the 1007 which I would have added the disc under , both sides have 03564 as slightly larger font number and Darevski Music is spelled out. Like the previous entry I put in it seems its only my finger prints on the disc , looks black and unplayed , but a crack in one side near the edge , probably from me mis-handling it.
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM Glenn Miller - A String Of Pearls / Blue Rain (1946)	Searching for this record , Wiki has a scan , which I have cleaned up to cat Standard ? My copy here has what seems a slightly smaller His Master's Voice label with a darker red ( or brown ) label. With and spelled out. I have seen labels with the OA matrix number printed beside the publisher box. (see youtube one !! ). Just taken my one out of its ( retailer) brown paper jacket (N tax code) , and apart from my mucky fingers in so doing the disc appears unplayed in a nice dark shade of black.. Its in a local to me retailer sleeve and I think it came from a car boot pile for pennies a few years back but I cannot wholly recall.

[YouTube Video] BBC Light Programme Calling All Workers
Whyperion SUBS 12th Feb 2013		78 RPM The Radio Rhythm Rascals - Sweet Sue (1935)	Someone has put white tape on the copy infront of me , writing Quick-Step And Fox-Trot on it , presumably a dance enthusiast.
