Comments and Reviews


xiphophilos 5th May 2024		The history of the "Americana" series and the reason and date for the A prefix has now been added to the series profile. LaurenceD's copy without A prefix on the A side, but the original A-prefix on the B side is from the transitional time in late October 1947, when Capitol had just dropped its letter prefixes again (starting in July 1947, they had used A for "Americana" and B for Pop) and were using up already printed older labels.



Jesse Hale1 30th Jan 2019		Americana was devoted to "true" roots music, C&W and R&B acts, save for the Nat King Cole Trio and Nat solo. Americana was scrapped in 1948.



Groovy 30th Oct 2015		My copy has A40028 on A & B. But A1 side only has "Snatch And Grab It" on it.

55bluesman 16th Feb 2013		added b-side label variation



Jock_Girl 4th Feb 2013		Gotta wonder what the history was behind Capitol Americana If you look at this one: https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/40142 they dropped the word 'Americana' and retained the red label By 40225 they added the 57 prefix and went to a purple label https://www.45worlds.com/78rpm/record/5740225 Could this have been a transition pressing a few years after the first pressing?



KeithS SUBS 4th Feb 2013		Disc number 40028 and A side??????



LaurenceD SUBS ● 4th Feb 2013		For some unknown reason, my copy is numbered A40028 on one side only.
