Whyperion SUBS 3rd Sep 2022		78 RPM Alma Gluck With Orpheus Quartet - A Perfect Day (1917)	Internet Archive
Whyperion SUBS 3rd Sep 2022		78 RPM The Royal Air Force Dance Orchestra - Blues In C Sharp Minor / Business Unusual (1944)	[YouTube Video] B Side Audio
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Billy Cotton - Russian Rose / They're Building Another Alley (For Sally) (1941)	B Side label format in complete large letters exists (seen on a job lot on ebay)
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Carroll Gibbons And The Savoy Hotel Orpheans - Our Love Affair / Ridin' High (1941)	Indeed Rates would be zero in many cases if RV less than £12k at least for one year , Wonder If the "His Master's Voice" name is still trademarked with the recording angel on a lillypad ?
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Billy Cotton - Turn Your Money In Your Pocket / Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear To Tread) (1940)	No Tax Code would imply release before October 1940
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM London Piano-Accordeon Band - Hey! Little Hen! / What's At The Top Of A Sunbeam? (1941)	Possibly, some RZ matched direct to UK releases, others re-paired different Matrix recordings.
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Carroll Gibbons - Carroll Calls The Tunes (No. 10) (1941)	Were these 'compliations' cuts of previous recordings , or the band making a medley type new recording ?
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Carroll Gibbons And The Savoy Hotel Orpheans - Our Love Affair / Ridin' High (1941)	And the reason, generally, why the cost of 78s is so low, its because the cost of storage is so high ( unless you bought a cheap terraced house in a mining village and filled it top to bottom ) IF this one specifically were to turn up on the normal auction sites or discogs It would probably go for £6 plus postage. The likes of these probably were in the shed s/h dealer I came accross once with 3000 discs + at £5 each. Just no time to get through them and I would not have known what I was looking for. But as Mike says, a lot of these discs dont appear on later compliations, not even making it to licenced LP issues in the 50s/60s/70s which would indicate the source audio disappeared too. Many of my 78s were not on Spotify 10 years ago, a few have crept in , eg the Peggy Lee lost Capitol Recordings as collectors have sourced and cleaned up audio sources. The BBC killed its record library and so many of the later Malcolm Laycock and other presenters broadcasts were of discs from their own collection, and again the BBC killed its website archive of discs played on the shows, deeply frustrating.
Whyperion SUBS 31st Aug 2022		78 RPM Ambrose - Boa Noite / They Met In Rio (1941)	Probably outsold by Tony Martin's versions , also released on Decca to same pairing of titles
Whyperion SUBS 29th Aug 2022		78 RPM Leslie Hutchinson - Riding Home / Lords Of The Air (1939)	Lords Of The Air, must be post September 1939 if I interpret vocals correctly [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 29th Aug 2022		78 RPM Harry Roy - We Saw The Sea / Let's Face The Music And Dance (1936)	[YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
Whyperion SUBS 28th Aug 2022		78 RPM Harry Roy - We'll Go Smiling Along / Sarah, Sarah (1940)	From "Top Of The World" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoJ2k1S--50 Chick Henderson on Vocals
Whyperion SUBS 28th Aug 2022		78 RPM Ambrose - For You, Madonna / Stars Over Devon (1935)	B Side Matrix TB.1975 . Apparently Recorded October 1935 Jack Cooper Vocals
Whyperion SUBS 28th Aug 2022		78 RPM Ambrose - You And The Night And The Music / Easter Parade (1935)	Recorded At The Embassy Club, London apparently February 1935. Sam Browne vocals.
Whyperion SUBS 28th Aug 2022		78 RPM Ambrose - His Majesty The Baby / Sleepy Time In Sleep Hollow (1935)	B Side Image needing edit work added Dutch Pressings Also Exist. I presume the French writing Decca use is either for pomposity or for selling in Canada ?
Whyperion SUBS 28th Aug 2022		78 RPM Ambrose - Stars Fell On Alabama / Lost In A Fog (1934)	We can note that recorded at the Embassy Club , London per labels Apparently this was Recorded October 1934 with Sam Browne vocals.
Whyperion SUBS 27th Aug 2022		78 RPM Billy Cotton - You Ought To See Sally On Sunday / We'll All Go Riding On A Rainbow (1934)	Audio At Internet Archive . Org See Link for each side Labels declare both sides to be Theme from "Aunt Sally", unless one is opening theme and one closing that doesnt seem right. Can someone add date And Was Not "We'll All Go Riding On A Rainbow" Billy Cotton's Theme song for a while ?
Whyperion SUBS 27th Aug 2022		78 RPM Harry Roy - They're Building Another Alley For Sally / You Don't Have To Tell Me, I Know (1941)	The B Side Note is not quite what the Label states , but then the Label uses deliberately oblique language , as I dont thing the film track specifically uses this Harry Roy and His Orchestra recording.
Whyperion SUBS 26th Aug 2022		78 RPM Blind Roosevelt Graves And His Brother - Guitar Boogie / New York Blues (1929)	Guitar Boogie may share its name with later discs, but the chord progression is very different, being in many ways more inventive and on different cadences than later versions so named. What was the transition recording from 1929 to 1949 ? Was it a more piano boogie that was then picked up for a guitar arrangement ?
Whyperion SUBS 26th Aug 2022		78 RPM Wingie Manone - Swing Music 1944 Series No. 583 & 584 (1944)	Audio for Manones Blues. track two on podcast FORGOTTEN SONGS FROM THE BROOM CUPBOARD. Episode FS58: Another contender for early rock and roll from about the 45sec onward of the tune.(when the vocals come in), and very much based around Guitar Shuffle Boogie.
Whyperion SUBS 26th Aug 2022		78 RPM Wingy Mannone - Tar Paper Stomp / Tin Roof Blues (1938)	[YouTube Video] Audio of Wingy Malone, which I think is this recording rather than the earlier one (not knowing detail of the source I cannot say). Some would claim the riff is from at least 1925 being Clarinet Getaway, by the Jimmy O'Bryant Washboard Wonders, 1925. I suspect it floated around New Orleans / New York / Chicago for a few years before that !
Whyperion SUBS 26th Aug 2022		78 RPM Wingy Mannone - The 1943 Super Rhythm-Style Series, No. 87 & 88 (1943)	[YouTube Video] Strange Blues
Whyperion SUBS 26th Aug 2022		78 RPM Harry Roy - They're Building Another Alley For Sally / You Don't Have To Tell Me, I Know (1941)	Images added, might need a little edit for proper perspective A Side Audio contained in Podcast FORGOTTEN SONGS FROM THE BROOM CUPBOARD. Episode FS58:
Whyperion SUBS 23rd Aug 2022		78 RPM Madame Clara Butt - Abide With Me (1915)	tricky. where an artist changes title should a new entry be made and discographies linked, even though it is the same person ? One thing is that we write these after the latest events and commonly the idea of Dame Clara Butt is very much in the British psyche.
Whyperion SUBS 20th Aug 2022		78 RPM Phyllis Robins - It's A Hap-Hap-Happy Day / Goodnight Children Everywhere (1940)	And if you want a reason for deletion - other than the war - I suspect it is because Goodnight, Children, Everywhere was simply outplayed and outsold by Vera Lynn's version on Decca with Ambrose and His Orchestra
Whyperion SUBS 20th Aug 2022		78 RPM Frank Sinatra - The Things We Did Last Summer / Somewhere In The Night (1947)	[YouTube Video] Frank's version of Somewhere in the Night drags a bit.
Whyperion SUBS 10th Jul 2022		78 RPM Mr. A. Gilbert - Good-bye-ee / London Will Be Beautiful To Me (1917)	One wonders it this is the same audio as https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/1081uk Scala vs. Coliseum as record labels, come on.
Whyperion SUBS 18th Jun 2022		78 RPM Chris Barber's Jazz Band - Whistlin' Rufus / Hushabye (1957)	[YouTube Video] Chris Barber-trombone Pat Halcox-trumpet Monty Sunshine-clarinet Lonnie Donegan-banjo and guitar Micky Ashman-string bass Ron Bowden-drums
Whyperion SUBS 14th Dec 2019		78 RPM The Tornados - Telstar / Jungle Fever (1962)	Popsike shows a couple of sales of this, back in 2009 and 2010 at USD203 and USD 142
Whyperion SUBS 14th Nov 2019		78 RPM Clapham And Dwyer, "The Wireless Nuisances" - A Spot Of Bother, Part 1 / A Spot Of Bother, Part 2 (1927)	https://spitalfieldslife.com/2012/05/21/the-cockney-alphabet/ https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/58352771 https://quintessentialruminations.wordpress.com/2014/06/20/so-you-think-you-know-your-alphabet/
