slholzer 27th Mar 2016		I don't expect every user to be interested in everything I say. If they aren't, they are not obligated to read it. I wouldn't make a comment if I didn't think that somebody would be interested in it, however, and those people have no chance to read what is not written. Given the fairly specific focus of interest of the individual entries in this database, I doubt that you will offend anybody by offering whatever you have that may shed some useful light on the that subject matter. I would agree that many databases exist, the quality of whose information can not easily be judged. On the other hand, access to even a poor photo can often be better than no image at all. Moreover, having to look at a bad photo often provokes someone into providing a better one.



xiphophilos 26th Mar 2016		Don't worry, I don't consider myself a 'well-known discographer," so I knew that barb wasn't meant for me. ;-) And I agree, what's nice about this database is that many entries, at least, allow everyone to check their accuracy right away because they provide label scans and in some cases even additional evidence. Sometimes, of course, it's difficult to decide how much info users my want to see - which is why I didn't immediately provide a link to an external database of often questionable quality.



slholzer 26th Mar 2016		When I posted my comment, I had your note, but no knowledge of the corrected label, which I agree makes it pretty clear that the Dixies Daisies version is, in fact, nothing but a typo. In your position, I would have noted the existence of the second label from the outset, if I was not in a position to actually post a copy of it. The correctness of the note and the listing would then have been apparent. By the way, I hope you didn't think my comment about "presumptions of well-known discographers" was aimed at you. The simple fact is that many early discographers put a premium on "publishing" and neglected to truly "document" the information we are all interested in. There are many reasons why this happened, but they don't change the fact that we are left to sort out how far most published discographical information can actually be trusted. (The answer, as it happens, is sometimes "not very".) In this website we have a tool the likes of which those discographers never had, the ability to "document" and "examine" in detail, rather than simply "report" bulk conclusions in forms indistinguishable from representations of fact. Because our tools are better, our habits should be, too. I challenged what appeared to be an incompletely supported conclusion, and you came back with the missing pieces. If the situation were reversed, I would hope that you would challenge me, and that my response would be as constructive.



xiphophilos 26th Mar 2016		I respectfully wonder if you're putting too much weight on what's probably no more than a typo (which I had already listed in the notes before you posted your comment, for what it's worth). On Discogs is another picture of the same record, and there the band is listed under its usual name, "Dixie Daisies." I assume a few label prints later, someone finally realized the mistake and fixed it.



slholzer 25th Mar 2016		Those of us who have interest in early 1920's dance bands are used to thinking of the group on side A as the Dixie Daisies. It was a frequently used pseudonym for house bands on Cameo, and I don't doubt that it represents a similar band here. I would note, however, for those who care about such minutia, that the actual name on the label here is not Dixie Daisies but Dixies Daisies. The presumptions of some well-known discographers notwithstanding, there is a great deal we do not know, and probably will never know to a certainty, about the thousands of dance records made in the 1920s studios by pick-up bands and house units. If the slight variation in the band's name is a clue to anything, it shouldn't be lost track of.
