xiphophilos ● 8th Oct 2022		Images 731446 and 731448 represent a repress. The company name "RCA Manufacturing Co., Inc." was authorized for use on record labels in late April 1935. The originals would feature the company name "RCA Victor Company, Inc."



fixbutte 28th Apr 2015		"Bear Cat Mama From Horner's Corners" was another character in Jimmie Davis' early series of nymphomaniac women, "hotter than old Corrine". Again Davis was accompanied by the fantastic string duo of Ed "Dizzy Head" Schaffer on steel guitar and Oscar "Buddy" Woods on guitar (both African Americans by the way). Here's a YouTube video based on the Montgomery Ward issue (M-4283) with the same song coupling as the Bluebird record, which apparently came out in 1933 as well:



fixbutte 27th Apr 2015		Two of Jimmie Davis' risqué songs that had been cut out from the Victor label (along with the demise of the 23,000 series) were made available instantly on Victor's new budget subsidiary (35 cents a record, or three for one dollar). It was already the second issue of this coupling on Bluebird. An earlier version had been released on Bluebird 1835 in 1932 or (early) 1933, see 78rpmrecord.com: The Bluebird label is commonly thought to have been introduced with buff-label issue B-5000 in May 1933. In reality it premiered in these extremely rare blue-on-black labeled pressings, made for F.W. Woolworth stores and issued in two blocs in 1932 and '33.
