Jeff's 78 RPM Blog: June 2014

I'm keeping this post in place as a chronological placeholder, but it has been supplanted by this post.

Credit where due...

The information about the records discussed in this blog is derived partly from the knowledge I've gained in my years of collecting, but I've found these books to be particularly helpful:

Steve C. Barr - The Almost Complete 78 RPM Record Dating Guide (II), Nuack's Vintage Records, 1992.

Michael W. Sherman - Collector's Guide to Victor Records, 2nd edition, Monarch Record Enterprises, 2010.

Michael W. Sherman & Kurt R. Nauck III - Note the Notes: An Illustrated History of the Columbia 78 RPM Record Label, Monarch Record Enterprises, 1998.

And of course, those monumental works by the great discographer Brian Rust:

Jazz Records 1897-1942, 4th edition, Arlington House, 1978.

The American Dance Band Discography 1917-1942, Arlington House, 1975.

I turn to these websites for information several times each week:

Discography of American Historical Recordings

The Online 78 RPM Discographical Project

Unless otherwise indicated, all pictures were taken by me of records in my collection, and all recordings are my own transfers from my records.
