Comments and Reviews

78-Ron 19th Oct 2024		Black label side A added
xiphophilos 25th Jan 2022		This record was so popular that it was repressed up into the Viva-tonal era (1926): From 1920 on (after Helen Louise death), represses featured a different version of the A side, recorded by the Toots Paka Hawaiian Company:
xiphophilos 25th Jan 2022		I've rearranged the label order now to reflect what we have learned about the two-letter label printing date codes since 2017. These label printing date codes are now all dated at https://www.45worlds.com/45worlds/45w_forum_topic_view.php?t=102544&h
Mike Gann 25th Jan 2022		Label images added for both sides with "BW" printing code
45stalker 17th May 2021		Added label scans with CW & JX codes.
Bob1951 21st Jan 2017		Label variant images added. Different prices, the word "and" is in a different position, and the letters to the right under the "a" in "Columbia", are different. The original has the letters KX to the right, under the "a" in "Columbia" and the variant has the letters DY. Does anyone know what these letters mean?
