The BLUE PAGES
The Encyclopedic Guide to 78 R. P. M. Party
Records
© David Diehl 1996 email ddiehlusa@netscape.net
Many party records give no performer credit on their labels. These are often reissues or pirated releases of earlier recordings. Many of these have been traced back to the original artist, others to a cover name whose real identity is not yet known. In either case, a link is provided to the main listing.
Records with a 
yellow ball next to them are linked to a JPEG image of that label. Discs identified with three asterisks (***) have no logo or label identification. This makes tracking them down extra fun. For this reason there is more attention paid to A/B sides and incidental markings in the runoff (unrecorded area around the label) than is found in most discographies. Known details of untraced titles are given in this section. If you have any party records that do not appear anywhere in the Blue Pages, please e-mail the author at:
ddiehl.tstc.edu and you will be greatly rewarded, if not in this world then perhaps in the next.
