[78-L] WESTERN 10" Extended Play Records-3 Songs per Side

[David Lennick]

There were a lot of these double- and triple-play sets at this time, usually 
horrible cover versions (although the ones on Waldorf often had Enoch Light and 
Artie Malvin and half decent artists, but that was an exception). Interesting 
that they didn't even try to come up with semi-appropriate names, like Hogtown 
Harlan or Dave Dungflicker.

No clue who the artists are, but the songs are hits from that period by people like Hank Snow, Eddy Arnold, Johnnie&  Jack, Jim Reeves, etc. Could be horrible cover versions or dubs of commercial recordings - that would be my guess. Have you played them? I'd be interested in hearing who they might be.

>> More questions.  I've been looking through a record collection I bought about 4 years ago and am just now getting to.  Found 3 10" records with 3 songs on each side in the LP pile, but they are actually extended play 78 rpm records.  The label is 'WESTERN' and it lists the 3 songs on each side, but that's about all.  No artists, nothing telling who made them, and the only numbers in the dead wax match the numbers on the labels.  Seems very odd to me.  Are these generic radio transcriptions? Something else?
