I am steadily building up many copies of "Fats" Waller's 'My Very Good Friend the Milkman' -

also that (in my opinion) very over-rated tune - 'Skaters Waltz'. I mean, how many different versions of this were made ? I must have all of them ............... many times :(

.................. and yes, 'Harry Lime Theme' ...............

Today, I had my first "Very Good Friend the Milkman'" moment..... and added to my Glen Miller duplicates

For me, it's "Red Rose" by Francis Craig on Bullet. I've got at LEAST 4 copies and never intentionally bought a single one!!

Next up at 3 copies each are, "Honky Tonk" by Bill Doggett and, OF COURSE, "Flying Saucer" by Buchanan & Goodman!

Webster Booth seems to run in the families.
Mario Lanza too.

Can you believe that I got yet another Skater's Waltz today in a newly acquired record collection ?

I couldn't believe it either. I mean all the other records were from the 1920's. How did this sneak in ????????????????

In buying job-lots of over 30,000 78s, I've found at least 46 (I stopped counting) copies of DX.1062 - ''Warsaw Concerto'' - I used them all at ends of boxes so that if an end one got broken... he he. Runners-up were Mantovani's ''Charmaine'', Anton Karas's ''Harry Lime Theme'' and yes, ''Mary's Boy Child'' sold a few, didn't it! ...

Although I've seen several copies of ''White Christmas'' it doesn't show up as often as one might think. (I've yet to find one with the 1947 recording on 78, which is on every wretched vinyl release of the song - even the 1954 Brunswick issue of 45-03384*. The much nicer 1942 one was still available on 78 (same cat.no.) as far as the late 50s (black labels, R/T tax code). Subject of my next book maybe.)

[ * My 1954 wide-tri 45 has the 1942 matrix no. on the label but not in the wax. They must have switched the tapes after the labels were printed. In the early days of vinyl when a lot of old recordings were being reissued, the industry was paranoid about the old shellac ''surface noise'' so that is why the 1942 disc was put away. Shame!]
