First started collecting in 1961 when I found that records that didn't get a lot of votes on Murray The K's nightly 'Boss New Sounds' (or whatever it was called) were hard to find! Still at it.

rhythmdog ● 20th Jun 2024		78 RPM The Four Kings [Jax] - Do You Want To Rock / You Never Knew	Quite a rare record. The image above is of the sole sale recorded on the internet. The group is the same group as Bobby Hall & The Kings, but with Adolphus "Little Hooks" Holcomb taking the lead on both sides. Marv Goldberg has a bio of the group, and he supplied the date for this obscure record. Unlike all three preceding releases on Jax, this one never came out on 45 - possibly because the Jax and Sittin' In With labels were on the verge of going out of business.
rhythmdog ● 1st Jun 2024		78 RPM The Chords [Gem] With Frank Motley And His Crew - Daddy Loves Mommy / In The Woods	Ferdie Gonzalez gives a date of August, 1953 for this release. It is likely the date the sides were recorded, as starting in September, 1953, Frank Motley et al embarked on an extensive tour of the South which wound its way back north and ended in Pennsylvania in December. Both this record and the preceding number on Gem (which was released at either the very end of 1953 or in January of 1954), as well as at least one other, were purchased from Liz Claiborne for release on Gem.
rhythmdog ● 1st Jun 2024		78 RPM Frank Motley (Duel Trumpeter) And His Crew - What's That Stuff Joe's Got / Keep Your Head Up High	December, 1953 is Marv Goldberg's guess, based on the fact that the recordings were mentioned in "Records Released This Week", in Jan. 9. 1954 Billboard. Seems reasonable, but it doesn't fit well with the release date of Gem 211, which was August of 1953 according to Ferdie Gonzalez. Likely one of the two dates is incorrect, and with the date here being corroborated via a trade paper, I'd guess that Gem 211 actually didn't come out until 1954.
rhythmdog ● 28th May 2024		78 RPM The Crows - Call A Doctor / Heartbreaker	Although "Call A Doctor" is technically the A side, most sales show "Heartbreaker" as the preferred side, and it also turns up on the oddball release backed with "Gee"
rhythmdog ● 25th May 2024		78 RPM Jimmy Bowen With The Rhythm Orchids - I'm Stickin' With You / Ever Lovin' Fingers	Added Monarch pressing images. Δ13333 "I'm Stickin' With You" Δ13334 "Ever Lovin' Fingers" Numbers point to an early January or late December 1956 pressing date.
