[78-L] Request for label info

[Randy Watts]

The following are four of the Encore matrixes in question:

WB-102 - "Encore Essence" - Sam Donahue and His Swing Seven" (Encore 500)

WB-104 - "Catch as Catch Can" - Sam Donahue and His Swing Seven" (Encore 502)

WB-106 - "Crazy Rhythm" - The Page Cavanaugh Trio (Encore 504)

WB-114 - "Escape" - Dodo Marmarosa (Encore 512)

I don't know what WB-206 is, but WB-204 and WB-205 are by Edie and Rack (Encore 104) from an album titled A NIGHT AT THE GALA. I don't have the whole album, just that one disc. If someone has the set, though, they might check and see if WB-206 is the matrix for one of the other discs in it. Just a thought.

This is from Michael Feinstein. Anyone have any possibilities? And I've checked the Signature masters in the Decca books..can't find the S- number listed there. Signature jumped from SRC 999 to SRC 7100 and had several other series, but not one with S-1175.



"I have several stampers for 10" 78's that I''m trying to identify. They're possibly from an LA based studio. Maybe they're Encore records because I have a note that the person who gave them to me thought they might have been from that company? Anyway here are the Matrix numbers and if you have any clue as to what they might be, I'd be grateful-
WB102
WB104
WB106
WB114
WB206


I also have a lacquer from my Radio Recorders discs that sounds like Dinah Washington singing a song called "I Want A Rich Man" with a matrix: S-1175-1. Could this be Signature records?"

Thanks
