[78-L] Nocturne labels

[David Lennick]

My copy definitely says Harry Sosnik, and the label looks like something produced by Schirmer.

> There were several Nocturne labels, all equally confusing. Two are in ARLD.
> 
> 1. Hollywood address on labels. ARLD lists LPs (NLP1-7; dated 54/55). Jazz label (Babasin).
> This label issued promotional 78s in a 100 series (103 = Earl Hines, from NLP-5).
> 
> 2. Nocturne Records, distr. by RKO Unique. Blue label.
> Available image is 110-78 by The Sonics (mx PJK-402).
> Gart lists (RKO) Unique label in New York on Broadway etc. (1955-1960).
> 
> 3. Hawthorne, NJ/New Rochelle, NY label, listed in ARLD.
> ARLD mentions 49669 (11/53), 1003 (5/55) and EP-101 (10/57).
> I have no info at all.
> 
> 4. 29 West 57th St., NY address on (black) label.
> A single issue known to me, which is fairly common:
> 3135-A/B Johnny Fosdick and Orch (Anita Boyer-v): Swinging The Jingle / Get Hep.
> Odd cat.nr.
> 
> Surprise: Having saved 7 label images of 3135 in 6 years (yes, life is not easy), 
> it appears now that one of them is credited to:
> HARRY SOSNIK AND ORCHESTRA (+ Boyer).
> Is Johnny Fosdick a pseudonym? Is the Sosnik issue the first pressing or a late one?
> 
> Also any other info on these rare labels (and their issues) appreciated.
