vinyl_dave 4th Feb 2024		78 RPM The Beatles - Hello Goodbye / I Am The Walrus	mister_tmg - that's not evidence. (Also it doesn't have a catalogue number so doesn't count.)
vinyl_dave 2nd Jan 2024		78 RPM Jack Gordon - Vienna, City Of My Dreams / Time Alone Will Tell	Hello, I'm searching (in vain) for a specific number on Imperial. Not found. It would be so much easier to discover whether it is listed here or not - IF they were presented in a correct numerical sequence. I notice 2575 is followed by 2472 and preceded by 2470. Where on Earth is the logic in that? (I know there isn't any.) [Date corrected. mod] I'm actually trying to find Imperial 2555 for reasons I can't satisfactorily explain but I'll have a go anyway. (I have the very record right here somewhere but can't get to it, buried amongst so many others which are in inaccessible (and heavy) boxes. Rummaging for one specific record in a full box, even if I know its number, is invariably to risk a possible breakage.) For reasons even more obscure, no other website appears to have that Imperial number! I've been searching all day.
vinyl_dave 2nd Jan 2024		78 RPM Francesco Tamagno - Un Di All'Azzurro Spazio Guardai Profondo / Di Quella Pira	This (double-sided) record DR.102 was issued about 1924 along with the first of the DA series, many of which were important early recordings. The 1947 sepia label repress as shown does not hint at the age or importance of the recording. I have a 1924 pressing with coloured dog. (Sorry, I can't scan it because it reached me in two pieces. Successfully superglued now but the scanner surface isn't quite 10".) (An old artist friend of mine, Graham Ovenden, died recently (2023). He always said the British Library would be interested in his collection, a massive, very specialised, collection of early and "important" records, even including 7" and 5" Berliners of the 1890s - and Pathe's - he had the contemporary machines too. When he died a dealer came and bought "some". What he didn't take went, so I'm told, to the tip. (I once saw him write an £800 cheque for one record, purchased from Nauck's catalogue.)
vinyl_dave 2nd Jan 2024		78 RPM Eartha Kitt - If I Can't Take It With Me When I Go / Just An Old Fashioned Girl	Since when was "Just An Old Fashioned Girl" a B-side???????????????????? How stupid. The argument is always - "Look at the earlier matrix number". I had this dispute with a DJ at Liskeard Radio, regarding Brian Poole & the Tremeloes "Candy Man". The silly man. I sent him a screenshot of 45cat. where, lo and behold, there is a Big 'A' demo.!!!!!!!!! Matrix nos. are not necessarily an indication of 'A' and 'B' for goodness sake. (And the embossed tax code can be on either side. Just machinery.)
vinyl_dave 2nd Jan 2024		78 RPM Elvis Presley - Tryin' To Get To You / Lawdy, Miss Clawdy	You SERIOUSLY tryin' to tell me that "Lawdy, Miss Clawdy" was the B-side??????????????????? How ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
