sparker 18th Mar 2021		78 RPM Joe Liggins And His "Honeydrippers" - Cryin' Over You / Going Back To New Orleans	The tune of "Going Back to New Orleans" reappeared note-for-note in the wonderful 1956 record, "Baby Girl of Mine" by Bobby Sharp (Wing 90056X45)
sparker 19th Feb 2021		78 RPM Fats Domino - Detroit City Blues / The Fat Man	About the timing of Fat Man: The label reads 2:33 but we used a stopwatch to time the record and the playing time from first to last note is 2:41. The 2019 Bear Family box has a track length of 2:44 in order to put a few seconds of silence between successive tracks. (I am one of the producers of the box.) Detroit City Blues is listed at 2:35 on the label but runs 2:30 timed with a stopwatch. So the numbers printed on the labels are not accurate guides to record length. One interesting mystery is how Imperial decided what time to put on the label. They surely didn't do what we did -- clock them carefully from first note to last .
