W.B.lbl 6th Feb 2023		Also, on the West Coast pressing, the personnel was set in 6 point Cloister Bold. This was part of the font library in that unknown printer, and was used for personnel on Los Angeles pressings of Capitol 78's up to their 1950 switch to Bert-Co. So ARC/Columbia did not print their own labels on the Coast, unlike Bridgeport.



W.B.lbl 24th May 2021		The label shown on the "Toy Trumpet" video was a Hollywood pressing, with fonts from whatever printer the ARC plant on Romaine Street used at the time that was also on some other West Coast labels (preceding Bert-Co).



Juke Jules SUBS 23rd May 2021		Scott reputedly said that he wouldn't call the band a sextet because some people might be distracted from the music.



Pridesale 19th Feb 2014		And the album version has vibraphone on it? Interesting use of bass drum shell with one stick for some of the beat at 1.20ish



Jock_Girl 19th Feb 2014		One further interesting thing -- the Quintette was made up of 6 musicians and not 5 making it actually a Sextette



Jock_Girl 19th Feb 2014		I swapped the sides and adjusted the comment. Debating whether the 'Theme Song' bit should be a part of the title for the (new) a side



fixbutte 19th Feb 2014		Both sides belong to the most popular Raymond Scott tunes now, but all things considered we can assume that "The Toy Trumpet" was the more popular side then (by the time of the original release). So you may swap sides too (and adjust your first comment as "this track" apparently meant "Powerhouse").



Jock_Girl 19th Feb 2014		Hmm -- I hadn't paid attention to the matrix numbers! My boo-boo. It probably should be swapped. That said, though, I am only guessing that Powerhouse is the better known of the two. I changed the catalogue number



fixbutte 19th Feb 2014		Hi Jock_Girl, I propose changing the cat# as it shows on the label: m7993 (with a small "m"). After Irving Mills' Master and Variety labels were discontinued in Oct 1937, many previous Master records were reissued on Brunswick with mXXXX numbers, and former Variety records became Vocalion with vXXXX numbers. The mXXXX numbers were also used for new records "produced by Master Records, Inc.", notably those by Duke Ellington, until Aug 1939 when American Brunswick was phased out for its part. Besides, why did you choose "Powerhouse" as the A-side? "The Toy Trumpet" was Raymond Scott's "Theme Song", it has the lower matrix number and was apparently presented as the preferred side, ending up on #17 on (Joel Whitburn's unofficial) US top charts.



Jock_Girl 19th Feb 2014		Originally released on Master Records catalogue number 111. After Columbia acquired the Brunswick catalogue it was re-released on Columbia 36311. Powerhouse is best known as the 'assembly line' music used in various Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoons. It was later covered as one as one of Spike Jones last recordings
