James Carson1 27th Oct 2024		Back in early 2018 I found a copy of this record on eBay for £2.99 “Buy It Now” and was delighted to have found a copy of her first record Of course the seller sent it in one of those thin white LP mailers and the disc arrived in pieces and I was never to find another copy again. I’m still on the hunt for a copy of this as well as pretty bride and skinny minnie fishtail



xiphophilos 22nd Feb 2023		Here we go. The 1952-53 His Master's Voice "Recorded Music 78 R.P.M." catalog on page 118 lists "Would You" first.



xiphophilos 22nd Feb 2023		You are probably quoting from Paul M. Pelletier, "Complete British directory of popular 78/45 rpm singles, 1950-1980", v. 1. Columbia, Decca, H.M.V. (London : Record Information Services, 1986). I'm sure this is an excellent book. How do we know, however, that his order of tracks reflects what HMV thought were the A and B sides in 1952? What we need would be a primary source, like a 1952 HMV catalog supplement or the 1953 HMV general catalogue or an HMV ad from 1952 that shows that one of the two titles is the featured title on this record or is at least listed first.



KeithS SUBS 21st Feb 2023		Pelletier lists "Would You" first



xiphophilos 21st Feb 2023		I don't think Wikipedia is very decisive evidence, but apparently the contemporary review in "Gramophone" , June 1952, page 20, listed "To Be Worthy Of You" first. So I have switched the track order.



Pat-452 20th Feb 2023		According to Wikipedia the A side is "To Be Worthy Of You".



James Carson2 SUBS 3rd Jan 2023		This was Alma’s first ever 78, her first 45 was I Went To Your Wedding/You Belong To Me



Strawberry_Lynn 21st Dec 2015		Is 'Would You' definitely the 'A'-side? I seem to remember reading evidence to the contrary
