han enderman 23rd Jul 2024		Pm 12217 - The last 'price label' known to me in the regular 12000 series is 12078 by Wiseman Sextette. Any other issues known before its odd occurrence here?



han enderman 23rd Jul 2024		Pm 12217 - Label variants #2-4 added. I assume that the early labels with price, misspelling and "Quartet" are the first edition (#1). All later variants have the correct song title and credit "Quartette". Blue labels #2 can replace the images of lesser quality. Label types #3-4 are black; with on #4 "Electrically" added. Note that the mx.nrs on all labels are 1813/1809, but type #4 has new 1927 recordings, with mxs 2882/2881 clearly visible in the runout (maybe of interest to retain). - I got these images from Roger Misiewicz 10 years ago, when he scanned his blues collection.



cyeaman SUBS 23rd Jul 2024		Added image of B side on earlier style label with price notice at top.



cyeaman SUBS 11th Jul 2022		Paramount 12217 was also released with blue labels that stated "Price 75 c" at the top (see https://www.discogs.com/release/13128884-Norfolk-Jubilee-Quartet-Eziekel-Saw-De-Wheel-Crying-Holy-Unto-The-Lord). This is something of an anomaly, as that style of label had been phased out at the end of 1923, with only a few releases bearing the price notice coming out in January and February of 1924. Paramount 12217 was first advertised in the August 9, 1924 issue of The Chicago Defender, fully six months after the price notice was discontinued. The matrices used on this record (1809 and 1813) were recorded ca. July 1924, so it isn't the case that Paramount prepared this record in late 1923 and held its release until August 1924. One wonders why the earlier style of label was used on this release, but no other Paramount releases after Feb. 1924. Two other interesting tidbits about this record. The same pressings that show the price at the top also show the A side title as "Eziekel Saw De Wheel" (in contrast to "Ezekiel Saw De Wheel" on other pressings). Also, the group was credited as "Norfolk Jubilee Quartet", rather than "Quartette". The record was repressed and issued with black Paramount labels sometime between August 1926 and March 1927, and those releases also use "Ezekiel" and "Quartette", like the labels uploaded here by peterh show. This must have been a popular record, because Paramount reissued it on 13146 in 1932, near the end of the company's existence. cf. Max E. Vreede, Paramount 12000/13000 Series and Guido van Rijn & Alex van der Tuuk, New York Recording Laboratories 1100-1999 Matrix Series, p. 213.
