a. Bl DC 8000 Series Society Bands, Novelty, Pop, Black Pop, Hillbilly & Old Timey, Gospel 1947- 1950 by Jay Bruder
The DC 8000 series was the main run for Davis-Claiborne Records in the late 1940s. It began in 1947 with novelty and society band recordings, but by the fall of 1947 Mrs. Claiborne had redirected the label towards country and gospel. Country records by Sleepy McDaniel and his Radio Playboys from WFMD in Frederick, Maryland were prototypical bluegrass thanks in large part to the fiddling of Buck Ryan. She pushed her gospel group, the Progressive Four, a descendent of the group which recorded for Columbia in Atlanta in April1930, towards pop material which they performed in a vocal jive style reminiscent of groups of the late 1930s and early 1940s. Some of the members of the Progressive Four were reportedly not happy with the group performing pop material. This lead to a series of name changes and to the eventual split of the group with their young lead singer, Harmon Bethea, soon joining with another secular vocal group called the Buddies to form the Cap-Tans while the Progressive Four continued to work under that name and under the name of the Corinthian Singers. Sales of these records were very local until late 1948 when Mrs. Claiborne finally had a regional hit with the songs Jesus Gave Me Water and Thank God Amen performed by Mae Gooch and her Gospel Stars who were from Detroit, Michigan. The 8000 series began to wind down in late 1949 as Mrs. Claiborne placed her artists with larger labels such as Gotham, Savoy, Mercury, and Dot.
There are plenty of discographic mysteries remaining with this series. Early releases had separate catalog numbers assigned to each side of a disc. Many early number pairs have not been identified as neither records nor printed citations have been found to identify the contents.. Between 8032 and 8035 the numbering scheme was switched to the more contemporary practice of assigning a single catalog number to each disc and master or matrix numbers to each side. Even after the switch over there are still more gaps in the number sequence. The series becomes erratic after 8059. It is not know whether these missing numbers were ever used. We do know that some matrix numbers were used more than once which is an indicator of poor organization.

Long-time Washington radio and TV personality Ed Walker kindly commented: “I remember that record by Jerry Strong . . . Jerry use to play it on his program. . . Jerry left WINX and went with WMAL in the 1950s. He did a show there with his wife Gemma. . . I don't believe the record with Jerry and the Progressive 4 ever made it outside of Washington.”

DC 8051 Sleepy McDaniel And His Radio Playboys Leather Britches Unknown Title Reference from Al Turner. 2 March 1950 Ballen Authorizes Lillian Claiborne to lease 8051. "Leather Britches" appears in Adelaide S. Van Wey and Donald Lee Moore Folk Songs of North Carolina November28, 1946 (Copyright Office) (From Dick Spottswood: Leather Breeches is the old Scots/Irish “Lord McDonald's Reel.” Michael Coleman's 1927 Columbia recording is exemplary. D. L. Moore was a folklorist not to be confused with Lee "The Coffee Drinking Nighthawk" Moore from WWVA.)
DC 8052 Spiritual Series June 1948 The Progressive Four: Hartwell Mouton - Oliver Armstead - Harmon Bethea - Lindsay Wilson - Wilburt Griffin Ring Those Golden Bells 8052A Vale Of Time 8052B Daniels dtd 48/06. a. Silver on maroon. Confirmed 78 rpm copy. b. Dark Blue on yellow. Confirmed 78rpm copy. From Frank Ruehl. 2 March 1950 Ballen Authorizes Lillian Claiborne to lease 8052 A. Notably of the four songs the Progressive Four recorded for Columbia Records in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday April 22nd, 1930 none were recorded by DC Records in the 1948 and 1949 sessions. Presumably they had all been discarded from the repertoire as the group evolved over the intervening 18 years. However, "Ding Dong Bells" (14601-D) is thematically related to "When They Ring Those Golden Bells" and the group approaches this new title with the same straightforward interpretation as they displayed in their 1930's work. "When They Ring Them Golden Bells" was more prominently recorded by the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet in New York City on 10 August1938 for Bluebird 7897 and by the Southern Sons for Bluebird 34-0734, Fall 1945. Several other vocal groups and single artists recorded variations on this title.

Ironically this review was placed just above a Jimmie and Ruth Dodd title on Castle. Jimmie would go on to record a prizewinning DC city song in the mid 1950’s before becoming a Mouseketeer leader for the original Mickey Mouse Club.

An advertisement which ran in the December 18th, 1948 edition of The Cash Box, a weekly record and vending machine trade magazine, mentions DC 8057 by the Corinthian Singers as "just released and selling very big." A Billboard review, and a catalog of Gotham products reinforces that attribution. Yet, copies of the coupling attributed to The Progressive Four do exist and are assumed to be first pressings as they do not bear the legend "Mfd. For DC Records By Ballen Co. Phila, Pa." which occurs on the c. label variant. This all seems to have been Mrs. Claiborne's attempt to mollify members of the Progressive Four who were reportedly unhappy doing pop material. The name switch appears to have been short lived and ended after the release of 8059, 8061, and 8062 (which are not yet confirmed). Savoy sales sheets for their reissues of 8059, 8038, and 8042 in the new 4000 series attribute all of the records to The Progressive Four. Note the confused A-side master number assignment which has been verified on the a., b., and c. variants.
