[78-L] Fwd: turnover instructions

[Gene Baron]

I don't think I have seen this here yet:  I don't know the particulars about
the original 78s, but I have an LP reissue (Apollo LP 475) of Jewish Comedy
Songs by the Barton Brothers.  Some of the songs are two-part and at the end
of Part 1 of each of these, one of them instructs us in Yiddish some
variation of "If you want to hear more, take the record and turn it over".

She knows her onions/How could Red Riding Hood by Jay C. Flippen and his
Gang on Perfect. Jay sez "Turn it over" at the end of each side.

The Mr. I. Magination records on Columbia have instructions that tell
the kids they can retake the trip to I. Maginationland any time by
playing the record again.

And the Winnie the Pooh stories with Jimmy Stewart (and some of the most
obnoxious voices ever perpetrated on kiddie records) advise you to turn the
records and the book upside down for another story. IIRC these instructions
were clumsily chopped out on the LP (along with the page turning
instructions,
I think) but were still present when the discs were re-pressed in the mid
50s
as Bluebird Series individual 78s. 59 cents (79 cents in Canada, courtesy of
a
paste-over price tag, even though they were pressed here).

One of Stanley Lupino's Decca 78s ends with an uncredited voice saying
something like, "Are we going to meet this girl?" and Lupino replying,
"Yes, she's on the other side of the record."

One of the Goons 78s ends with Bluebottle escaping onto the other side
through the hole in the middle.

(From the LP era, Tony Hancock instructs the listener to turn the record
over in "Pieces of Hancock" (and at the end of side 2 tells the listener
to remove the stylus, followed by a long pause, after which he says,
"There's no more." Meanwhile, "A Song For You" by The Carpenters closes
side 1 with an elaborate choral piece whose lyrics are "We'll be right
back after we've gone to the bathroom." This scared the living daylights
out of me when I first heard it as an infant, which might have had as
much to do with the ghostly end-of-side distortion on my parents'
worn-to-death copy as anything else.)

Pardon my being non-specific about the 78s. I don't have the actual
records to hand at the moment, and can't remember which ones the above
quotes appear on.

We musn't forget Annette Hanshaw with her cue that it was time to turn.
She said...."That's All"
