This attempt however, appears to result in lower recording levels and higher groove noise. Does anyone have any of these in their collections? ...

[Phono-L] Cartoon music from commercial 78 record releases...
Sorry if this is a duplicate, but I posted a while ago and didn't see it ion the list, so Can anyone identify the remainder of these tunes? A few years ago (2003 to be exact!), a question was asked about music heard on a variety of cartoons that were seen frequently on early TV and have been issued in collections of early cartoons. I posted mp3s of them on my website and four out of nine were identified back then by some very knowledgeable collectors including Vincent Fitzpatrick, John Wilby, Piet Schreuders (Beauhunks), David Lennick, and Vince Giordano (Nighthawks). Apparently vocals were cut out for the cartoon use, which added to the confusion, and were definitely a surprise, although it makes ultimate sense. So far these have been ID'd:- http://67.210.127.4/TRACK1.mp3 Fascinatin' Vamp - Nat Shilkret Victor Orchestra , Victor 21431 CONFIRMED http://67.210.127.4/TRACK3.mp3 George Olsen, Where'd You Get Those Eyes. Victor, 1926. The vocal has been cut out. It would have started at 1:32. CONFIRMED http://67.210.127.4/TRACK5.mp3 George Olsen. Victor. Just a Little Thing Called Rhythm. The vocal is cut out at 1:30. CONFIRMED http://67.210.127.4/TRACK7.mp3 Meadowlark. George Olsen, on Victor, 1926 CONFIRMED http://67.210.127.4/TRACK8.mp3 Dancing Shadows, band is Paul Whiteman. The sax solo is by Frank Trumbauer. CONFIRMED I still think they could turn out to be ALL from Victor. I believe for a while they were licensing their commercially released recording material to anyone who wanted to pay to use it, which is how some of it appeared in cartoons that otherwise wouldn't have had a sound track. Much cheaper than hiring a composer and an orchestra to write music to fit the picture! These were copied from tracks of cartoons, probably originally silent, that had a sound track added later to extend their marketability as sound became the standard. The following tunes are as yet still unidentified... please listen to them and see if anything sounds familiar:- http://67.210.127.4/TRACK2.mp3 http://67.210.127.4/TRACK4.mp3 http://67.210.127.4/TRACK6.mp3 http://67.210.127.4/TRACK9.mp3 You should be able to just click on the above links to listen to them. ...

Here are two nice clean Victor catalogs on EBAY: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2228541294category=38030 1943 Catalog of Victor and Bluebird records Red Seal, Victor and Bluebird records The Music America Loves Best Over 500 pages, this HUGE catalog has a variety of alphabetically listed sections including Orchestras, Vocal Artists, Composers etc., and a title index of the records produced by Victor. It contains cover photos of many of the album sets available in 1943, and is a storehouse of information about RCA Victor's recorded music offerings not seen in other similar catalogs of the era. This gently used book is in excellent condition, its binding is intact and pages are in clean condition. As with any 60+ year old book like this, the edges of the pages are browned but not brittle. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2228537060category=38030 1924 catalog of Victor Records This scarce 80 year old book contains listings of Victor's Black and Blue label records that were available at the time. It is a strictly alphabetical listing by title and artist making it easy to find what you are looking for, and includes pictures of artists of the day with biographical sketches of them, and a detailed listing of Dance records is included, broken out by type. Its pages are un-numbered but I estimate it contains over 100 pages. This book is in excellent condition, its binding is intact and pages are in clean un-deteriorated condition. There is a small slight stain on the very edge of the pages, but doesn't extend into the page and for the most part, can't be seen with the page open. The cover is embossed with the His Master's Voice logo with Nipper. ...

Here's how it works:- You get a message apparently from an E-bay member who asks for your comment about a seller who received money and did not deliver goods. The sender says that he was told you had done business with the person and gives a name. Here is the one I received, although they may vary the message, you get the idea of how it works. COPY OF PHISHING MESSAGE: Hi, I have recently had a bad transaction with an ebay member.Here are his details: Christopher Keller,3422 Avenue,New York, 10001.I sent him the payment for an item and it never arrived.Now he wont reply to my emails. He said he made transactions on ebay before and you are one of his customers. I have reported the incident to ebat and to the law authoritiesCan you help me?Do you know this person? END OF PHISHING MESSAGE The message gives you a button to click on to respond to the message via E-bay BUT IT DOES NOT GO TO E-bay... instead it goes to an E-bay look-alike webpage in the Ukraine where the phisher gathers your E-bay name and Password.

[Phono-L] Victor Paperweight
Loran T. Hughes lo...@oldcrank.com said to Phono-L On the subject: Victor Paperweight Genetta and I were out and about this weekend and found a Victor paperweight in a local antique store. It doesn't appear to be in the Nipper book... anyone know anything about it or seen one like it before? Description photos via this link: http://homepage.mac.com/loranhughes/PhotoAlbum11.html A year or two ago, there was a seller on Ebay who offered similar paperweights that were reproductions... which he conveniently neglected to specify. I only found this out AFTER buying one and finding that he had all kinds of these things to sell bearing different antique logos. Clearly he was in the business of selling Chinese copies! The one I have is nicely made measuring 4-3/8 x 2-7/8 x 3/4 inches and the back is covered with black felt. The dog and phono look like a wood cut drawing and the tiny words REG. U.S. PAT. OFF appear centered between the phono and the dog at the level of the dog's knee. The word VICTOR is on the side of the phono box. HIS MASTER'S VOICE is at the bottom in bold type and quote marks, and immediately underneath that is VICTOR TALKING MACHINE CO. in 1/2 size type. There is no single stylized word VICTOR on the one I have. I believe the words His Master's Voice is always presented in quote marks on legitimate issues of the Victor Talking Machine Company. I would be suspicious of the stylized word VICTOR since I have never seen the word presented that way with the curly C, and I would think Victor would be very cautious about their trademark. I wonder if this could be somebody's earlier reproduction effort? ...

[Phono-L] Victor Paperweight
Loran T. Hughes lo...@oldcrank.com said to Phono-L On the subject: Re: Victor Paperweight Like this one? Item # 7242280907. Yes, EXACTLY, and offered by the same person! When I originally questioned the seller, a woman named Vicki about the description she responded in part:- I bought a (Huge Lot) of these at Auction in Texas about 8 1/2 years ago. I have been selling just over a year now and since they were purchased the way they were, I don't truthfully know their age or origin! But even after my questioning, she is still using virtually the same copy, so she knew she was shading the truth a little! Regardless, I liked the item and decided to keep it... the origin and age not being of crucial importance to me. Rather than felt on the back, mine has an old mirror - and the image/mirror is fastened in the paperweight with what looks to be plaster. Also, the image is not a wood cut... more like a newsprint photo. I'm not saying that mine couldn't be a reproduction, it's just different than the current eBay reproductions. And the plaster might be indicative that it is quite old and probably as good as an original Victor item, age wise, at least. ...
