Columbia 2580: June 1915
Guardsmen 1501 and 5116 probably 1924
columbia 4268 probably 1927

[edit]
winner 5164 probably 1930
winner 3645 prob 22
cameo 1203 prob 27
domino 3476 prob 25

The year dates for some of these labels are already documented on this site.
Regal UK
Columbia UK
Winner
These dates are probably more accurate than the guide Jules used, as they are extracted from complete listings of the labels by month of issue.

Might be an idea to access this site using Windows(XP or 7, are best suggestions).

As for the main topic:

I have entered the release dates for all the 78s I have on my database. I noticed that not one of them has the day of release, only the month and year. Why is this, please? :confused:

In the UK, 78s were usually released on a monthly basis.

Thanks - does that also count for late-50s releases, records that charted? It seems their 45 counterparts do not have this restriction... :erk:

Personally I have always wondered about the accuracy of full dates (day month year) when it come to 78s. To a certain extent I see the month as being pretty useless and the day to be a stab in dark -- and in the case of both very hard to substantiate especially given the mists of time. Granted, you may have an ad that says a certain 78 will be in shops on 25 April 1946, but we have no real way to know that this date was actually met.

I find it better to go with the year and let the numerical order of the catalogue number give you a sense of when something was issue within the year.

Ta - I guess it was just more hit-and-miss than with 45s? :happy:

Curiously enough we have a situation in the corrections queue where stereotom is challenging the exact release date on Luniverse 102 .

I tend to agree, but not sure if we should make the change. I know when I added the record oh so long ago, I only did the year, so someone consciously added the date. Research seems to show that as being questionable

To clarify - many USA 78rpms seem to have been released more than once a month. If someone supplies an exact day, then we mods have to accept it. But if it later proves false then we can change it. The exact day was supplied by Break-In Master, so perhaps they'd like to chip in here?

I doubt Break-In master's "exact" release dates because he doesn't refer to a consistent and verifiable basis, see my earlier correspondence on 45cat:

It's hard to say, in some cases, the dates come from Reg Bartlette, who KNOWS the release dates of lots of records, I also have an old version of Joel Whitburn's Pop Annual that lists the release date of all the records in the book (NOT just the top 20, like his new books). Having the Delta numbers helps a lot, too. Otherwise, I've had LOTS of various sources and it'd be impossible to say where I got each and every date. I'm not doing JUST Aladdin, though, it's just that that's where I started the other day (after doing Combo). If I have the time, I'll get to LOTS of other labels, too.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Break-In master, for specifying the release dates of some Aladdin records, all looking very reasonable. Before correcting them like that on the database, however, it would be nice to know where you found them.

Cheers, fixbutte (Cornelius).

With regard to the specific issue which was reviewed in Billboard of Oct 20, 1956, I tend to change to the release date to October 1956. In contrast to stereotom I don't suspect it was released a few weeks before the review because the group's previous single (Luniverse 101) was still in the charts at the end of Sep 1956.
