 | JOHN 1935 Member since Oct 2017 6 Points | Where might I find a date for the following two recent buys please and on the last one Who were 'The Westminster Band' Decca record cat 59.027 - one side 'Good Luck' (and the same to you) adapted from the famous Colonel Bogey March - other side- 'It's a long way to Tipperary'. First one is another Decca - but on Blue label cat F.8579 - Ambrose and his Orchestra one side- 'On the Atchison Topeka and the Santa Fe' ( singer Anne Shelton) other side is - 'Symphony' ( singer Jack Power) . Last ask for today please - These nice label pictures you have how does one format them - was brought-up on steam computers and am more at home "with me old wind -up gramophone" ( it being only five years older than I) - if someone can point me in the correct direction will give it a try ( am on Microsoft 10 - bless it !!).

 | Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25324 Points Moderator | I use Paint.net which is a free download with this you can crop the label scans and rotate them. I've managed to master it and I'm also a digital dinosaur. From the Wiki page it states it's compatible with Windows 7 onwards. |

 | xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | The Westminster Band's "Good Luck (And The Same To You)" was released on Decca [UK] F. 7286 in 1939. Your French Decca 59.027 record is probably also from 1939. Edited by moderator on 14th Oct 2017, 10:11 PM |

| JOHN 1935 Member since Oct 2017 6 Points | Wow! have certainly found the right place to get info, thank you very much for instant replies. On the 'Westminster Band' were they in fact the 'Westminster Military Band' and did they continue, or change their name, and who was in it directing ? On the same theme of dating record (recording) - Since I have several French records, mainly on Columbia label, but some H.M.V./La Voix De Son Maître (with 'K' prefix), is there anywhere a site for checking this, as I note on the H.M.V. (disco label list) that the 48 they have start on a (apart from one) number much higher than the ones I have. Thanks again for your help and congratulations on your site.

| xiphophilos Member since Dec 2013 3351 Points Moderator | There is a printed discography of La Voix De Son Maître records: Alan Kelly, His Master's Voice: La Voix De Son Maître: The French Catalog, 1898-1929, Greenwood Press, 1990. At least some of that info is available online at: http://www.operadis-opera-discography.org.uk/NEWFREN2.HTM Otherwise, you'll have to research the release date yourself, it seems. If you enter your records here, even without the release date, at least some of that work may be done by other users. For that to happen, however, it's always helpful if you can illustrate your entries with images / scans of the labels. Edited by moderator on 15th Oct 2017, 5:05 PM |

| scrough🍰 No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3429 Points Moderator | You can always try entering the catalogue number in the CHARM advanced search which has many of Alan Kelly's databases. CHARM says that K6000 was probably released about 1930, if you are looking for guidelines for K series lower numbers. Most of the records listed in the link from Xiphophilos above will be single-sided, and so have catalogue numbers with no letter prefixes. Edited by moderator on 15th Oct 2017, 11:37 PM |

| JOHN 1935 Member since Oct 2017 6 Points | Thanks for the info will have a go at that, when I have finished repairing Garden wall, raking leaves, and getting garden ready for winter. Have managed to add a couple of record sleeves (French H.M.V.) so next is to work out how to go about the Labels - was mentioned - scan them - How? For the sleeves I just took photos and with a bit of cutting it seemed to work. Help needed by senile old man with senile computer. Best John |

| Redpunk SUBS Crates Are For Digging Member since Aug 2012 25324 Points Moderator | If you have not got a scanner this could be a problem. Your choice is buy a scanner or continue to use a camera. As I don't use a camera you will need advice from a member who does. |

| j.monk Member since Sep 2017 167 Points | I use a pocket scanner (this one precisely) wich is very easy to use ! The images need some work though, and paint.net is a easy tool indeed. |

| JOHN 1935 Member since Oct 2017 6 Points | Thanks for help, and have downloaded paint net and used scan on Canon printer, but suppose the older you get the dumber you get as still cannot see how to correctly crop to a circle ? I am sure the software is "User friendly" - must be me that isn't ! Best John 1935 |
