40 year veteran of the pursuit of 78 records, jazz history. Retired insurance lawyer. Long time officer and director of the now defunct
Indianapolis Jazz Club. My discographic work can be seen in multiple label lists on the Online Discographical Project at 78discography. I have a humongous label photo archive (currently 188,000+ photos), but I don't own them and it would be inappropriate to post them here. I will back up positions privately with photos as needed. Biographical articles I wrote on trumpeter Bobby Hackett for Record Research and the IAJRC Journal were for many years the most comprehensive account of his career available in print. (See Bobby Hackett: His Life In Music by Bert Whyatt and George Hulme for the book that surpassed me.)

slholzer 29th Nov 2024		78 RPM Viviane Greene - The Unfinished Boogie / Honey, Honey, Honey	There are two versions of the label for this issue. One version is as illustrated, with the full personnel of the Trio listed. The other dispenses with the listing of the bassist and drummer. The latter version is the common form found on other issues by the Viviane Greene Trio. I have no information as to which version is the earlier.
slholzer 16th Oct 2024		78 RPM Cal Stewart - Uncle Josh's Birthday / The Mocking Bird	It is worth noting that The Mocking Bird is a Whistling Novelty.
slholzer 16th Oct 2024		78 RPM Joseph Samuels' Music Masters - That Certain Something / Tired Of Me	As may be seen from the illustrated labels, this particular disc was printed at least twice, using two different label designs. The earlier version would be the B-side label, which fills in the top portion of the shield with gold, leaving a black logo showing through. The A-side version outlines the top portion in gold and switches to a gold logo against a backdrop of black.
slholzer 7th Oct 2024		78 RPM Ferera And Franchini Assisted By Vernon Dalhart - Aloha Oe (Farewell To Thee) / Wailana Waltz	It is worth noting that tboth Rust in the Complete Entertainment Discography 2d Ed. and the Online Discographical Project list a different disc under Emerson 7113. I have not seen a copy of the proposed alternate, so I can only report the conflict. The proposed alternate is If I Only Knew Where I Stood With You b/w There's Someone More Lonesome Than you, both by Sam Ash and dated to c. Dec. 1916.
slholzer 7th Oct 2024		78 RPM Emerson Military Band - Ida Fox Trot / Tickling Love Taps	The original version of this disc, identifiable by the NYC Harbor scene label was credited to the Metropolitan Military Band on both sides and had no comp credits on either side. The illustrated version retains the Statue of Liberty on the left hand side, but deletes a colorful steamship and tug. It also provides the previously omitted identity of the A side composer. The matrix numgbers are unchanged.
