Gents, I may well be putting my foot in my mouth again  vis-à-vis the two grand BA, but I can't help but wonder who would pay $26.00 for a Broadway? Broadway 1208. Maybe a "complete-ist" or someone who really likes song or singer?  In my, granted limited, experience Broadways are pretty bad.  Regards, J. |

It could be some mad bugger like me that collects different labels too? Still, I'm not sure I would pay quite that much for a label that is probably fairly common. I try not to pay anymore than about $10 for UK/US labels I don't have, unless they're foreign language releases- only because I assume the foreign language records would be less common. I have notice a few different labels that are found occasionally out here selling for around the $50 mark in the UK, and being listed a rare. Whether they are rare because they were export only labels that came here,and therefore are hard to find in the UK I dont know. I paid $50 for the chinese pathe I recently got, which was the lowest price any of the ones listed went for- most of the others reached $100 on average. I now wish I had got a few more, because one side is really good. I hate to admit it, but I've been playing it heaps! I never thought I'd see myself actually enjoying a chinese record.

Broadway was pressed by Gennett and there have been some staggering prices paid for some of the hillbilly on Broadway -namely by R. Crumb.

DD, I don't see a relation between Gennett & Broadway other than both being Mid-West concerns. I may be missing something (and probably am!). Broadway started out as a label of the Bridgeport Die & Machine Co. The label was taken over by the New York Recording Laboratories when BD&M went under. NYRL did also press, among others the Claxtonola label which also drew from Gennett masters. The whole reason I bring this up again is I done went and do-ed it again. I bought another one: 1293; Tip Toe Through The Tulips With Me & Painting The Clouds With Sunshine Both Ernie Lee & His Songsters, Fox Trots with Singing!. ;D I'm insane, four bucks, I'm Insane I tell you!!!!

John,
It's very possible too that this Broadway by "Harry's" such-and such band (Melody Men?) was a pseudo for another band. Gennett had some hot talent.
This is one reason I should keep a copy of Rust's discos here on my desk at work! I could look it up and find out why...
