Bad info predated the Internet? Wow!
 Note also that this is the same Clark Phonograph Company that pressed the first Wallace Reducing Records in the early 1920's.

DJD>>>>Thanks David! Not only are the earliest dates possible the right ones, "Milky White Way" is mentioned even in the very first article cited. Irving Berman's quote that "The orders I have on hand now will take six weeks to fill" doesn't sound like failure to me; moreover, I had no idea that Regis itself was based in Newark, at least at first; always thought of Manor as a Manhattan-based label. Certainly "Milky White Way" had plenty of time to establish itself before The Trumpeteers covered it; if anything, a 1948 re-release would serve to call attention to the original.That's just plain bad research, Dave; while I don't doubt that The Coleman Brothers may have had reason to complain about their association with Irving Berman, to invent a reason based on faulty discographical data isn't good medicine. By the way, I updated the Apollo Records article on Wikipedia yesterday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Records_(1944)I just got sick of the bad, inaccurate stub that was sitting there.Uncle Dave Lewisuncledavelewis at hotmail.com _______________________________________________78-L mailing list78-L at klickitat.78online.comhttp://klickitat.78online.com/mailman/listinfo/78-l
