In the dead wax on both sides is stamped/inscribed HiFi over a JB anagram.

Also the matrix is scratched into the dead wax.
 
Anyone recognize the JB anagram?
 
Thanks!  Cliff

Someone suggested these guys could be the Firehouse Five plus Two.  Haven't seen anything in their discography to 
confirm this except that they played a ton of small gigs early on and this gathering might have been one of those gigs.

Any way to confirm this??

Thanks!  CDB

I just brought home a group of over 3000 records and found a 'LOS BUSTARDOS' label 78 featuring Colonel Tom 
and his Confederates in one of the first boxes I opened.? 
They play dixieland jazz and it sounds like it was recorded live in a club, complete with mic noise, crowd sounds
and a sound man who wasn't always paying attention.? 
?
There is a medley of 2 songs on each side of the record:
Side 1 - Honeysuckle Rose and It Had to Be You
Side 2 - Ja-Da and Blue Skies
?
It is numbered LB 1 A and LB 1 B
?
You can view the label here:

Here's what I think I know - Los Bustardos was/is a men's club/group whose focus is horses.? 
Apparently, Walt Disney was a member of this group and made their logo.
?
Anybody able to fill in the gaps?? Who was Colonel Tom?? When and where was it recorded?? 
Anything..
?
Thanks!? CDB
