Frankie Laine - Sunny Side Of The Street

Frankie Laine - Sunny Side Of The Street (McHugh-Fields) Mercury

While working "On-Air" and also in the same building as a Oldies radio station. Ive heard 1000's of hours of the "popular" Frankie Lanie. It was a surprise when i ran this disc and it swung and how about Laine's Vocal - sweeet.

Les Paul - Brazil

Les Paul - Brazil (Ary Barroso) CAPITOL MX42014

Les Paul created the "multi track" method of recording years before anyone else thought of doing it.
not only does he play all the Guitars but he uses different speeds to layer a true masterpiece,
I quite like the instrumental Les Paul cuts. This one again from a "played to death" CAPITOL pressing.

Nat King Cole - That's My Girl CAPITOL

Nat king Cole in a Swingy mood with That's My girl. One of Nat's rarer recordings.
Its an uptempo number Written by Ray Ellington (yes That Ray from The Goon Show)
If you know of Ray Ellington's style of Arranging you will hear it in the "middle eight".
Ray also performed this song on a couple of Goon show's as well.

Again a rather worn disc ( I had 2 pressings to play with and each was as worn as each other!)

And I'm still experimenting with Photographing the labels from these discs, I've tried different lights, moving the light source around all over to get that pesky "gold" lettering of the Capitol and HMV discs. Oh and my flatbed wont scan em either!!.. any ideas?

Josephine Tumminia - The Blue Danube - La Capinera DECCA

Some (to me) unusual recordings from a opera singer coupled with a big band !!
Its Josephine Tumminia with the band of Jimmy Dorsey.
Ive been going though some of my 12 inch 78's which were relegated to the back of a cupboard as i though them uninteresting, well was i in for a shock when i spun this one. Its just too hard to explain but its very good! Again from my own collection of junk shop discs which are not by all means "perfect" pressings. Again 3 versions my "good" version, one with too much NR and one fake stereo copy.

Ward Leopold - Here's Hooey Regal Zonophone

A comedy disc now. From (I think) Comedians from Aussie radio.
Every time i see someones 78 collection I always come across several of these. It must have been the "must have" disc in the early 40's. Although some comedy from the 40's does suffer with age some of the material here is surprisingly fresh!

I also have the Coronation edition and Here's Hooey 2 as well for those interested and they are also on the 12 inch type of 78.
There is no "fake stereo" version of this as there was no point!

Ben Light - Perfidia Capitol

This is from the age of the cocktail pianist the likes of Carmen Cavallaro, Eddie Duchin, Frankie Carle and the list could go on.
This I assume was most likely recorded in the late 40's and its a surprising arrangement too.
Check out the machine gun speed of his playing!
This is one of my own discs that I've kind of played to death before i transferred it.
Oh and I don't have the disc on-hand to get a pic of the label so I've faked (rather shoddily) one
