Wait a sec. I believe these may have been pressed by Gennett c. 1926. 
The numbers you show as matrix numbers would actually be Gennett issue 
numbers (20194 A/B, not as you indicate - recheck the labels) assigned 
to the Gennett Personal series. The masters seem to have been from an 
outside source - I have found no indication they were recorded by 
Gennett. The typeface for the credits look like Gennetts, though, and 
20194 A/B fills in a hole in the personal series listing.

You are right, I misread the "mx" when looking at a too small label image,
and thus did not see they were the same.
It appears that this Stamps Record 100 is not the same as the postwar 
Stamps Quartet 100 from Texas, of which I just found a mediocre image at 
http://78rpmrecord.com/labelview.cfm?firstLetter=S
and which plays When The Saints.
This also explains the quite different prewar label design.
So it is part of the Gnt personal series & a case of serendipity.

This record & titles not in Russell's CMR, but the Brunswick 27-10-1929 session 
includes V.O. Stamps (recorded in Dallas, Texas !) and this is the only session 
called Quartette instead of Quartet.

I forgot to ask, are there any numbers in the runouts that do not appear 
on the labels?

Not about 78s, not even about vintage radio or TV....a new sitcom has been 
scheduled, about a wacky family in the 80s, and it's called "The Goldbergs". 
Yayyy! We got African-Americans on tv, we got gays and lesbians on tv, now a 
program that from the cast list looks as if it has one Jew, George Segal (maybe 
Jeff Garlin as well) and every other ethnicity represented, including an actor 
named Troy Gentile.

Greetings from FixitLand!

I've a question regarding a recent acquisition, Brunswick 3744 "Milenberg Joys"/"Chili Blues" by Rodney Rogers' Red Peppers. The Abrams files (and, by extension, Ty Settlemier's site) show only "10/??/27"; one Web page quotes 1 October 1927, another one sez 14 October. Can someone with the Brunswick tomes set me straight? Would also like to learn instrumentation and personnel if available. I thought I heard a washboard...definitely a Hawaiian steel guitar, other guitars, maybe a uke. Thanks for any help!

I bought this thinking it might be hot jazz. Not quite.

Take care,


?

Thanks, Roger! Definitely no washboard. Didn't expect two steel guitars. The label spells it CHILI BLUES, for what *that's* worth.

Take care,

There is also an ensemble vocal chorus on "Milenberg Joys." 

The song is spelled "Chile Blues" on OKeh 41102, with the group listed as The Three Jacks. The flip side of this pairing is "Spanish Shawl," recorded 6/28/28.

There's a passage in my biography of Milton Brown where pianist Fred Calhoun recalls performing on KTAT with this group. According to Calhoun, they were from Chicago. The leader's name was Jack Stone.

Both Laird and Rust give a recording date of October 14, 1927. Rust gives the instrumentation as two steel guitars, one regular guitar and vocal - no washboard nor uke.
