zabadak 19th Sep 2022		Is this rare and or valuable? :read:
Fokeman ● 16th Jun 2019		No, xiphophilos, the ones I have are all Shellac so I was surprised to see this acetate. On the other hand that would fit perfectly with Davies' desire to circulate good quality jazz around his friends and it was often low-key small runs and dubs of jazz classics that not everyone (above all in the UK at the time) had access to. Incidentally, it's interesting to see Brian Rust's name mentioned above since I've just uploaded photos of the Saydisc LP which was possible only because of Brian providing the records I'll Dance Till De Sun Breaks Through. He also wrote the sleeve notes to the LP.
xiphophilos 10th Jun 2019		Do you know if the other Ristic 78s are acetates? The fact that this is an acetate seems to support that this was done "out-of-sequence".
Fokeman ● 10th Jun 2019		If it is not Ristic 4 or 5, my next guess is that it was numberless. John R. T. Davies did these dubs for his own amusement and without a huge need or desire for profit. They would probably have been sold around his friends and jazz afficionados. Although it suits our purposes to have numbers, it may not have been essential for him then. Incidentally this is a disc created at Master Sound System in Colnbrook, Berkshire. See here for another example of their direct recording service.
xiphophilos 10th Jun 2019		A side (original Brunswick release): B side (Original Brunswick release):
xiphophilos 10th Jun 2019		Ristic was a 1950s re-issue label. So this is definitely not a 1927 release, zabadak. The catalog nr. is definitely not Ristic 4, which was Brad Gowans' Rhapsody Makers, nor 5, which was a dub of Ma Rainey. It could be either 16 or a number higher than 17: http://mgthomas.co.uk/Records/LabelPages/Ristic.htm It's not Ristic 12 because that was an EP: Trixie Smith and her Down Home Sycopators, "Ada Jane's Blues" and "Praying Blues" / "Sorrowful Blues" and "I Don't Know And I Don't Care". (Jazz Museum Hamburg)
zabadak 10th Jun 2019		See here :read: Rec. Chicago 22. 4. 1927. Matr. E 5175/77 W. Personnel: Joe Oliver, cornet. Thomas "Tick" Gray, trumpet. Kid Ory, trombone. Omer Simeon, clarinet & soprano saxophone. Unknown, alto saxophone. Barney Bigard, tenor saxophone & clarinet. Luis Russell, piano. Bud Scott or Johnny St. Cyr, banjo. Lawson Buford, tuba. Paul Barbarin, drums.
Fokeman ● 10th Jun 2019		Given the label, I would date this with some certainty to 1953. I would guess this is probably Ristic 4 or 5.
