Hey Diddle Diddle - Goodson Flexible record - 78 rpm - Nursery Rhyme

Here's Hey Diddle Diddle a Nursery Rhyme from a 7inch Goodson Record Flexible disc 78 rpm record produced in the late 1920's early 1930's. "Hey Diddle Diddle" (also "Hi Diddle Diddle", "The Cat and the Fiddle", or "The Cow Jumped Over the Moon") is an English nursery rhyme. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19478. The rhyme may date back to at least the sixteenth century. There is a reference in Thomas Preston's play A lamentable tragedy mixed ful of pleasant mirth, conteyning the life of Cambises King of Percia, printed in 1569 that may refer to the rhyme: They be at hand Sir with stick and fiddle; They can play a new dance called hey-diddle-diddle.[2] Another possible reference is in Alexander Montgomerie's The Cherry and the Slae from 1597: But since you think't an easy thing To mount above the moon, Of your own fiddle take a spring And dance when you have done.[3] The name "Cat and the Fiddle" was a common name for inns, including one known to have been at Old Chaunge, London by 1587.[3] The earliest recorded version of the poem resembling the modern form was printed around 1765 in London in Mother Goose's Melody with the lyrics: Hey diddle diddle, The Cat and the Fiddle, The Cow jump'd over the Moon, The little dog laugh'd to see such Craft, And the Dish ran away with the Spoon There are numerous theories about the origin of the rhyme, including: James Orchard Halliwell's suggestion that it was a corruption of ancient Greek, probably advanced as a result of a deliberate hoax; that it was connected with Hathor worship; that it refers to various constellations (Taurus, Canis Minor, etc.); that it describes the Flight from Egypt; that it depicts Elizabeth, Lady Katherine Grey, and her relationships with the earls of Hertford and Leicester; that it deals with anti-clerical feeling over injunctions by Catholic priests for harder work; that it describes Katherine of Aragon (Katherine la Fidèle); Catherine, the wife of Peter the Great; Canton de Fidèle, a supposed governor of Calais and the game of cat (trap-ball).[2] This profusion of unsupported explanations was satirised by J.R.R. Tolkien in his fictional explanations of 'The Man in the Moon Stayed Up Too Late'.[4] Most scholarly commentators consider these to be unproven and state that the verse is probably meant to be simply nonsense. The melody commonly associated with the rhyme was first recorded by the composer and nursery rhyme collector James William Elliott in his National Nursery Rhymes and Nursery Songs (1870) Goodson Records was a Short-lived London-based record company established in the late 1920s by brothers Joe & Jack Goodson. Releases were pressed on two-sided 10" flexi-discs made of a white, non-flammable material called "Rhodoid". he records were made of a white opaque celluloid. They were published in the autumn of 1928. They invented this technology, and then reached out to advertisers to help fund the growth of the company and the broader use of the flat records. Back then the Goodson brothers already understood that the financing of their venture depended on iconic marketing brands to pay for the records development and mass production for mass audiences. This is how their business was built. The Goodson record company was one of the first record companies to adopt a flat plastic record instead of the cylindrical format. And they were flexible, meaning they could be bent with our forefinger and your thumb. The records were produced by the Goodson Record Company, Ltd., 12 Old Burlington Street, London, W.1. (GB). They cost 1s. 9d each. The Goodson records were made from Rhodoid, a synthetic material covered by British and overseas patents. At first they used the records made by the American Emerson-Scranton studios (31000-series). After a few issues they used the Grey Gull-Van Dyke-Radiex catalog. Dominion and Filmophone used that catalog too. At the end they used English matrices exclusively. They have no label like the ordinary records. In fact, the whole record is used to print the information and was in fact a picture disc avant-la-lettre. There are several types. The 31000-series is also found on the Goodson produced discs carrying advertisements for Boothe Chemis, Wellsbach Lamps, Henleys, London Virginia Tobacco Cº and others. It seems that the London Virginia Tobacco Cº records, made for Sketch Virginia Cigarettes were sold in tobacco stores.
