 | Mike Wilson1 Musicologist Member since Dec 2019 26 Points | The late, great Turner Layton sold records by the truckload during his lifetime but it seems to me that there is a chronic shortage of much of his output.....So much so that I thought I would ask if any of our members have any of the following as it is very difficult to complete a discography of his recordings.....The catalogue numbers I have may not even be correct as these were gleaned from Percy Dicken's bits of paper strewn over his garage...The 78's I cannot locate are: I Hear A Rhapsody Columbia FB 2666 Only Forever Columbia FB 2545 The Little Boy Who Never Told A Lie Columbia FB 2614 It's Always You Columbia FB 2614 This Is Worth Fighting For Columbia FB 2795 Safe In My Arms Columbia FB 2421 We'll Go Smiling Along Columbia FB 2486 If you do have any of these could you please message me.......Mike Edited by Mike Wilson1 on 1st May 2023, 8:51 PM |

 | mister_tmg Also on 78rpm Member since Apr 2012 1118 Points | His recording of Lucky You, Lucky Me from the musical revue "Come Out to Play" (1940) is also fairly hard to come by. I do know a collector of Turner Layton's records who has it, and made a video of the record being played. Maybe he has those others too. Regarding the records, I would imagine that the publication Columbia FB Variety and Dance Band Records would verify the information. It's available at https://www.clpgs.org.uk/label-discographies.html (along with other label listings). |

I Hear A Rhapsody Columbia FB 2666 Only Forever Columbia FB 2545 The Little Boy Who Never Told A Lie Columbia FB 2614 It's Always You Columbia FB 2614 This Is Worth Fighting For Columbia FB 2795 Safe In My Arms Columbia FB 2421 We'll Go Smiling Along Columbia FB 2486 If you do have any of these could you please message me.......Mike According to contemporary newspaper adverts, The Little Boy Who Never Told A Lie on Columbia FB 2614 was indeed coupled with It's Always You. Only Forever c/w Maybe was on FB 2545. I Hear A Rhapsody on Columbia FB 2666 was coupled with Love in a Misty Lane. This Is Worth Fighting For Columbia FB 2795 - seems dubious. Perhaps it was a cancelled release, given that the catalogue number was allocated to something else? Safe In My Arms Columbia FB 2421 - I can't find any evidence of this. I wonder what the CLPGS book has for that number? We'll Go Smiling Along Columbia FB 2486 - coupled with Love Stay in My Heart. I wonder how you came across Percy Dickens' bits of paper! |

Interesting. Re FB2795, surely the answer is in the other thread? Strange As It Seems / This Is No Laughing Matter are the titles. Discogs has a label photo of the former side. |

| danceband91 Member since Nov 2020 119 Points | Turner Layton Columbia FB 2421 is actually titled "Safe In My Heart" not "Safe In My Arms". There's a picture of it here: https://www.rootsvinylguide.com/ebay_items/turner-layton-safe-in-my-heart-78-columbia-fb2421 So it definitely exists but unfortunately I still can't find a recording of it anywhere. |

Well you have certainly come through for me anyway by supplying that photo, I thought that the title might have been wrong but now this gives me something to go on....Many thanks......There are quite a few Turner Layton's that are elusive and hard to get |

Discovered that one title is Safe In My Heart not Safe In My Arms and got a photo of it !! |
