[78-L] Name the band

[David Lennick]

Just came across another 12-inch disc with similar wording on the label (Unbreakable, Noiseless, shadowgraphed steel or Sapphire needle) but this one is a heavy vinyl pressing, 78RPM with an oversized label. FLAT FOOT and MAD DOG are the titles, exactly as given, and a sticker I added some time ago identified these as the New Orleans Bootblacks from Columbia 14437-D. The difference is that this label also identifies the issuer--Vinylite Jazz Re-Issues, 211 E. 15th St., New York 3, N.Y.  Possibly this is the same source as the lacquers I mentioned. (Those lacquers are dubs from 78s, but they could be old recordings or they could be a revival band recorded in a bowling alley..you know the sound.)

Nothing to indicate where they were recorded (or copied), no name on them, only plain white labels with the titles typed and the words "NON-BREAKABLE & NOISELESS / USE ONLY SAPPHIRE OR SHADOWGRAPHED STEEL NEEDLE" printed at the bottom. I have no idea if these are a well known British Trad Band, some Ken Colyer or other..all I can do is list the titles and see if anyone recognizes them in these combinations.
