What A Title

Post by gramophone78 »

I have seen some strange titles over the years. However, while going through a stack of Berliner's today, I spotted this 10" record. What a title.... :?.

I have a scrolley record titled simply "666". I didn't know that that was even close to acceptable back then.

strange titles have always been a soft spot for me
the shortest title is probably O' if i remember it well it was on a hmv label
what about ''i scream you scream we all scream for ice cream''

Don't be tempted by an Edison cylinder titled "Message from mars"... it's not great and has nothing to do with the title...

One of my favorite titles was a WWI Columbia 78, "Would You Rather Be a Colonel with and Eagle on your shoulder or a Private with a Chicken on your Knee". Not sure how they fit it on the label!

Dig around the old blues record titles sometime. Full of all kind o devils and varmits and sexual innuendo.
