 | Mike Wilson1 Musicologist Member since Dec 2019 26 Points | Not sure if these two qualify but I believe that they were at the very end of the 1940's probably going into the new decade.....Both were recorded on London but have proved impossible to find as yet.....Any help will be much appreciated......."Wedding Bells" by Freddie Hall and "Brother Bill/Sugar Baby" by Dave Appell Trio |

 | carryonsidney ● a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1707 Points Moderator | I don't think the info for Dave Apell as London 30107 can be correct?. London [UK] starts at L.501 and never reached 30000+ . There are some London 78's from Argentina that start 300.... ? I wondered if 30107 was actually a matrix number? (stills seems to high though). |

 | okun69 Life is best at 45rpm Member since Sep 2010 668 Points | I think they are referencing the U.S. London label which would put the recording around 1950 between these that are in the U.S. London 78 Discography. Kay Armen A St . Louis Blues / B: I've Got Misery London 30103 Jimmy Lytell And The Dixieland All Stars A: High Society / B: Basin Street Blues London 30110 |

Many thanks for finding "Wedding Bells" but I have still drawn a blank on getting either of the Dave Appell sides....The catalogue numbers I got from the official London catalogue so I'd presume that they would be correct. |

| Spinning Shellac 1959 Member since Jan 2019 917 Points | Hi Mike, Never came across the Dave Appell Trio 78 on London, most of these early U.K London 78s are seldom ever seen except the hits. Can be very elusive but need a lot of luck to find one. Stay hopeful. Malcolm |
