Whyperion SUBS 5th Feb 2023		78 RPM George W. Johnson - Negro Laughing Song (1901)	the omission of an artist name seems deliberate by the label and thus correct information lies in our database, information from recording resources and research properly credited is rightfully placeable in record notes , and possibly comments too if further verification on a conjecture or complex attributions is needed

Whyperion SUBS 28th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.112 (1953)	B Side , A Side and 1 other side from another disc ( B side of D119 it appears) from "no one but you" which is not the cassette on worlds running order , so presumably a CD from LP cut ? [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 28th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D. 62 (1943)	DR 7280 DR 7281 A Side Audio [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 28th Jan 2023		78 RPM Al Bowlly And Jimmy Mesene - When That Man Is Dead and Gone / Nicky The Greek (Has Gone) (1941)	[YouTube Video] This would have been the audio, but "rights holder" blocked , unless it was a mechanical pull from a later CD 1941 is well out of mechanical copyright Vid shows one of the more Red labels which may be a scan or a print difference, without flip I cannot tell if same purchase tax code OEA 9227-1 Recorded in London April 2, 1941
Whyperion SUBS 28th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.29 (1939)	[YouTube Video] B Side Audio DR 3749 DR 3750 More xylophone on selection 3 , and rather well done too
Whyperion SUBS 27th Jan 2023		78 RPM Rikki Henderson - Stay / Are You Lonesome Tonight? (1961)	Embassy (Woolworths) had a completely different way of selling discs. Woolworths at the time only sold Embassy discs and Embassy discs could only be (generally) bought in Woolworths. Just about every town had a Woolworths, but I go a little circumspect in that It would not surprise me if some Embassy product went out to the independent (non-record) shop trades to some localities, depends how much Woolworths allowed Oriole of a market share in limited distribution supplies. That said, did Woolworths run a weekly sheet of new sides in singles, EPs and LPs, and were any not in stock available to order? What were the typical sales in any branch? Assuming Woolworths had about 450 UK Branches and sold 20 discs per branch, that's a pressing run of 10.000 per disc which seems reasonable. I could see the aim to have "hit" sides out say by the Thursday following national chart of previous Sunday would be the main idea, to ensure in shop stock for the Saturday pocket money market. Retailers also had half-day closing in many towns (was that something Woolworths honoured?) Normally Weds but adjoining places may have a Tues or Thurs, (many - Central London- had Saturday !) depended on Market Days and allowed staff to shop in a different town on their half day. Presumably some staff worked though shop closed for cleaning and re-stocking.
Whyperion SUBS 24th Jan 2023		78 RPM Bert Weedon - Theme From ITV's "64,000 Question" / Twilight Theme (1957)	lifting from wikipedia The $64,000 Question was a British quiz show based on the US format of the same name that originally ran from 19 May 1956 to 18 January 1958 produced by ATV and was originally hosted by Jerry Desmonde, and called simply The 64,000 Question with the top prize initially being 64,000 sixpences (£1,600), later doubling to 64,000 shillings (£3,200). I would love to see someone try to carry 64,000 sixpences. At that time pre 1947 sixpences and shillings were half or quarter silver so if not recently minted MIGHT have been worth more than the face value (though technically not permitted to melt UK coinage ) noted 45 version seems to have been released Dec 1956
Whyperion SUBS 23rd Jan 2023		78 RPM Various Artists - Aida. No. 31 & 32 (1924)	So was it in a box , or leaf album with further artist details. 1924 seems late to me for this style, but then I was not around in 1924. Wonder how many actually sold must have cost a bit - when did libraries start offering recorded discs out on loan ?
Whyperion SUBS 21st Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - The Palais Glide / Lambeth Walk (1938)	Also on South Africa Brunswick as SA 4558 Titles are side titles with three tracks of medleys (D 45? ) on each

Whyperion SUBS 20th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.35 (1940)	Vid has (non uk ?) labels BIEM Electrically Recorded but Matrix and Cat Number same [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 20th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley No. 114 (1954)	[YouTube Video] "If I Give My Heart To You" is played somewhat faster than it was sung (the tune was allegedly used by the Bonzo Dog Do Dah Band for "Canyons of Your Mind," resulting in a new cut of that track to move the vocal movement away from sounding like the tune)
Whyperion SUBS 20th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. R. 1 (1935)	[YouTube Video] YT needle play
Whyperion SUBS 20th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.13 (1938)	[YouTube Video] B2 seems to have some rather exuberant xylophone on it. Images on the vid not really clear enough to use on a web site
Whyperion SUBS 18th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D. 78 (1945)	Video shows ST tax code labels
Whyperion SUBS 18th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.51 (1942)	[YouTube Video] A Side

Whyperion SUBS 14th Jan 2023		78 RPM Mindy Carson - I Want A Television Christmas (A World Of Magic All My Own) / I Want A Television Christmas (A World Of Magic All My Own) (1950)	audio sounds like it is the bells version ? or did the B side have bigger bells ?
Whyperion SUBS 12th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No. D.98 (1950)	[YouTube Video] both sides, labels may have type place differences F 43154 which I think is Dutch or German ?
Whyperion SUBS 11th Jan 2023		78 RPM Jesse Belvin - Funny / Pledging My Love (1958)	Does exist as a Canadian release. Presumably poor Canadians could not afford to buy the new-fangled 45 decks at this late date.
Whyperion SUBS 11th Jan 2023		78 RPM Charlie Kunz - Charlie Kunz Piano Medley, No D.46 (1941)	[YouTube Video]
