Comments and Reviews


fixbutte 5th Mar 2019		"I'll Get By (As Long As I Have You)", recorded on May 20, 1941, was the A-side of this record, see uploaded page of the Billboard April 22, 1944 issue, with a Columbia ad showing this order and the Most-Played Juke Box Records chart with "I'll Get By" ranking at #11 (it would reach #1 on the juke box and the retail charts in June 1944).. In the midst of the recording ban, people had begun to press the juke box buttons for this side some weeks before, as it was already listed as a territorial favorite (St. Louis) on the juke box chart of the Billboard March 18, 1944 issue, in its original form on Columbia 36285 though, obviously sparking off this reissue here. "Flatbush Flanagan", recorded on January 8, 1941, was a reissue as well, originally released on Columbia 35947.



W.B.lbl 1st Sep 2018		Very likely the summer or fall of '44. This did seem to be one of Mr. James' big sellers.



xiphophilos 31st Aug 2018		Thanks for confirming my arrangement as correct! Is it also possible to give approximate dates for the middle set of images, {1412108} and {1412109}?



W.B.lbl 31st Aug 2018		{Images #578747 & 578769} which typesetting was way different from what is usually associated with Columbia, would have come first; followed by {Images #1412108 & 1412109} with the usual Bridgeport typesetting which was indeed a different printing job from the later {Images #1005500 & 1005502}. In short, the order is as it should be. Many c.1944 pressings, besides the usual deep groove, also had a secondary ~1.125" pressing ring.



xiphophilos 30th Aug 2018		The images of the 1946-1948 repress of Columbia 36698 ({1005501} and {1005502}) show different typesetting on the A and B side. I hope W.B.lbl. can chime in here and explain what's going on.
