>While you're looking at Continental info, do you have anything for "Honest Abe", a truly weird little drama issued (from 78s) on Pontiac?
Narrated by William Post with the Continental Playhouse directed by Monroe Postrel Continental album 38 (3 discs) released in July, 1947. I don't seem to have the issue numbers.

While you're looking at Continental info, do you have anything for "Honest Abe", a truly weird little drama issued (from 78s) on Pontiac?Some of Gabor's issues got weirder and weirder, as they began turning up on 99 cent Palace lps..one major theme like "Topkapi", followed by 6 or 7 pseudo Arabian melodies, backed with one side from an old Remington classical disc.dlOn 2/13/2011 3:35 PM, david.diehl at hensteeth.com wrote:> Jolie Blonde is C-8022 Jimmie Dale> Letter edged in black-Red River Dave& Texas Tophands C-8028> DJD> Visit the Blue Pages: the Encyclopedic Guide to 78 RPM Party Records> http://www.hensteeth.com> -----Original Message-----> From: David Lennick [mailto:dlennick at sympatico.ca]> Sent: Sunday, February 13, 2011 09:32 AM> To: '78-L Mail List'> Subject: Re: [78-L] Who's this?>> So here's where we are now, with 2 tracks left to identify:"Country Dances" - Plymouth POP-100-19, Copyright 1952Wabash Cannonball Jimmie Dale& his Pride of the Prairies C-8009Jolie BlondeWreck of the Old 97 Jimmie Dale C-8035When the Work's All Done This Fall Jimmie Dale C-8036Eighth of January Red River Dave C-8039The Letter Edged in BlackBaby Sitter Ernie Benedict& the Range Riders C-8027Skip to My Lou Ernie Benedict& the Range Riders C-8027dlOn 2/13/2011 12:16 AM, david.diehl at hensteeth.com wrote:> The hits just keep on comin'> Eighth of January-Red River Dave C-8039> Wreck of the Old 97-Jimmie Dale C-8035> DJD> Visit the Blue Pages: the Encyclopedic Guide to 78 RPM Party Records> http://www.hensteeth.com> -----Original Message-----> From: David Lennick [mailto:dlennick at sympatico.ca]> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2011 10:30 PM> To: '78-L Mail List'> Subject: Re: [78-L] Who's this?>> That's half the album..thanks!

Plymouth was Remington'> s poor relation (there was an even poorer one named Pontiac, if you can believe that) and lots of old Continental material saw new life there. Other labels as well, like the late 40s Crown label.dlOn 2/12/2011 9:33 PM, david.diehl at hensteeth.com wrote:> Plymouth is definitely one of Don Gabor's products> DJD> Visit the Blue Pages: the Encyclopedic Guide to 78 RPM Party Records> http://www.hensteeth.com> -----Original Message-----> From: David Lennick [mailto:dlennick at sympatico.ca]> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2011 11:10 AM> To: '78L'> Subject: [78-L] Who's this> ?>> I just received a couple of loads of old albums and among them was a ten-inch Plymouth LP "Country Dances". You was expecting maybe Mozart or Schubert? No, this is clearly a reissue from 78s, maybe originally on Continental? No artist credits, only "Vocal with Orchestra Accompaniment". Titles are Wabash Cannonball, Jolie Blonde,> Wreck of the Old 97, When the W ork's All Done This Fall, Eighth of January, The Let> ter Edged in Black (somebody really liked Dalhart), Baby Sitter and Skip to My Lou. The last two show arranger credits "West-Benedict-Sanders". Any thoughts?dl______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l> _______________________________________________> 78-L mailing list> 78-L at klickitat.78online.com> http://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l>>_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l> _______________________________________________> 78-L mailing list> 78-L at klickitat.78online.com> http://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l>>_______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
