Comments and Reviews

DeweyGill SUBS 4th Sep 2024		Thanks, xiphophilos, page looks great now
xiphophilos 3rd Sep 2024		I have cropped the last 2 labels and rearranged all labels chronologically. The Gold Band label with "Note the Notes" usually doesn't show a label printing code. I've seen one with an HZ = August 1917 code, but that is exceptional: Columbia A2310. The next label version, with "Grafonola" instead of "Note the Notes", but still the same six patents in two long lines of equal length, always features label printing date codes. The earliest one I have observed is FZ = June 1917 on Columbia A2293. So the "Grafonola" label was introduced in June 1917.
DeweyGill SUBS 3rd Sep 2024		Cropped the han enderman “note the notes” first issue images. They should be moved up to the lead images, and the rest sorted
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		Co A-2290 - having tried to convince everyone that the GZ label was the orig. issue (see below), a last search for additional printing codes revealed the existence of the real original issue without codes on archive. Images added, and these have a similar label type as the GZ release, with long 2-line bottom legend. But it is really different, as it is the earlier "Note The Notes" (at 12) label ! - So we need details of A-2291-92 to know when the printing codes started with FZ. Both A-2289/2290 without printing codes are Note the Notes labels, so the printing codes were introduced with the Grafonola label type.
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		Co A-2290 - copy with AX-KY printing codes added. Note the different label type.
han enderman 31st Jul 2024		Co A-2290 - Congratulations; GZ (Jul 1917) is very early here. The printing codes start (on available images) with FZ on A-2293 by Jim Doherty, which was possibly never reprinted, and also A-2294-95 are known. A-2296 by Al Jolson is fairly common (and I have seen it only with FZ). But A-2297 is the ODJB, of which thus the FZ label is on the original release (and there follow many more). - Z = year, G = month. The GZ label also is an earlier label type than the other copies here. A-2289 is on discogs without printing code, and thus the FZ code was introduced in the range A-2290-2293. It is unlikely that A-2290 was released without code or with FZ and that one or 2 months later a GZ reprint was needed, so GZ is the orig. issue and this fits the Aug 1917 release date (as is also said on discogs).
DeweyGill SUBS 31st Jul 2024		Added GZ code labels. Don’t know where they fit in the hierarchy
edlongus SUBS 21st Mar 2023		LX and AW label variant scans added. These are both on the same copy I have. Collins and Harlan also recorded this coupling 4 the Victor label. Warning: "Bake Dat Chicken Pie" unfortunately has a freewheeling use of the 'N' word.
Mike Gann 14th Feb 2023		Added A-side label image with "BW" code. The B-side label has the "KX" printing code wihich is already submitted [3117510]
