Comments and Reviews


fixbutte 19th Jul 2017		As already said in the notes, this was the first Number One on The Billboard's very first Music Popularity Chart, then just a Hot 10. I have uploaded here this chart, a national Best Selling Retail Records list subdivided into regional lists for East, Midwest, West Coast and South, and supplemented with the already known juke box list (Records Most Popular on Music Machines), that one without a clear ranking.



xiphophilos 4th May 2017		John Bolig, as quoted in DAHR, apparently lists take 3 as "Destroy". My own early label (1940-1941) also has the number 4 (= take 4) at the 9 o'clock position of the A side runout.



xiphophilos 4th May 2017		Added variant of the early ring label (images 1330487 and 1330488): two equally long concentric label rings starting left and right of RCA Manufacturing Co., Inc., Camden, N. J., U. S. A. = probably pressed in the oldest plant, Camden, N.J. W,B.lbl.'s labels (images 445480 and 445481) show two concentric label rings of unequal length (the outer one is shorter than the inner one). This design first appears around 1939, thus possibly pressed in the Indianapolis, IN pressing plant that opened in August 1939. (Source: Post by user W.B.lbl on Steve Hofman's Music Forum).
