HBRALLAN 5th Apr 2018		According to Peter A. Grendysa's Atlantic Master Book #1, the Bill Haley material, four songs in total, was purchased from Haley in September 1950.



23skidoo 22nd Mar 2018		Just to add to information posted about the unissued recordings, they were "Loveless Blues" and "Teardrops From My Eyes." "Teardrops" was a cover of the R&B song by Ruth Brown, but with a country-western flavour. Going by the original definition of Rock 'n' Roll being the mashup of Country & Western with Rhythm & Blues, this recording (which has been released on compilations by Bear Family and other labels) actually predates Haley's 1951 version of "Rocket 88," which is often considered the first recording to meet the CW + RB criteria definition for first-generation Rock 'n' Roll. "Teardrops" is also a far better performance (as was "Loveless Blues") than the two tracks Atlantic did issue. They weren't bad recordings, but if they had to pick two songs to put out as a single, I think they chose the wrong ones, personally.

slholzer 14th Jan 2015		Your suggestion is essentially correct, Bill. The 661 series was all jazz (and nearly all Errol Garner) and its color scheme was black and yellow. I am unaware of any other discs having that scheme. The 721 series was an entirely c&w series and its color-scheme was green and black. At least one other disc (7074) had a similar scheme. Its titles and artist credit (Buddy Hawks AH Buddies) do not tip off (at least to me) what kind of music it was. It could be C&W. The 851 series had the familiar (and hard to photograph) red and black scheme. You can call it what you will r&b or general, It's first issue, however, was neither pop nor r&b but a modern jazz disc. There would be other jazz discs in the series, but it would quickly become overwhelmingly dominated by r&b and remain so through the time that 78s were issued. A 2000 series would also use the red and black label and would issue largely similar music. The 3000 Gospel series had its own brown and creme scheme and was distinctly labeled textually. There was a 15000 black and white series, of which I've seen only one, a Wingy Mannone jazz disc.



Bill Fick 13th Jan 2015		I have an early Errol Garner Atlantic 78 ("Miserlou" is the title of one side - I'll post it when I can dig it out), & it's on a yellow/black label, similar to the early Atlantic 45s... I'm assuming that this was their early jazz series. Evidently, their early releases were color-coded by label...



PhilMH ● 15th Sep 2014		Probably recorded September or October 1950 going by Michel Ruppli's Atlantic discography; this session (two other tracks are unissued, matrix 524, "Tear Drops" and 525, "Loveless Blues") is undated, but the next listed session (Al Hibbler with Billy Taylor's Orchestra, matrices 526-529) is dated October 25 1950.



Jock_Girl 14th Sep 2014		From what I can tell --- the 700 series WAS in fact a hillbilly series. As noted here, the first Atlantic record was an R&B release several years before and was this one 851. A hillbilly series was started in 1949 Billboard 3 Sept 1949 with Drinkin Wine Spo-dee-o-dee by Loy Gordon and His Pleasant Valley Boys on Atlantic 721. A Jazz Series also started that year with Atlantic 661.



Jock_Girl 14th Sep 2014		Am I correct in saying that green label Atlantics are a part of an early 'Hillbilly/ Country' series?
