[78-L] Gutter ball

[Geoffrey Wheeler]

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

This is a Boris Rose product. If you had seen others of these vinylite 
recordings, you would recognize the wording regarding shadowgraph, 
noiseless, etc.I have not seen any 12-inch discs but have seen plenty 
of 10-inch discs, some with handwritten strip labels. In some cases, I 
have two copies of certain records, each with slightly different 
labels. A clean, colored-vinyl pressing looks quite nice.
