A "Podcast" of TS discs

What Have I been doing the last few weeks?. Well I'm trying to get Archives In Newcastle (or (anywhere) Interested in my copies of Transcription Discs which could be important "historically"

As any kind of work in Newcastle is pretty much Non-Existent (to an Audio Engineer and IT Professional) who Doesn't Drive a car. and has applied for more jobs that most people alive (always get's back to "do you own your own car") and due to the crazy "rent" that landlords charge here In Newcastle, I'm forced to move interstate to try to find a job. So Before I leave I'd like the City Of Newcastle to have these Discs that I have Saved from destruction a "home", Although they are not the original discs that I possess I do have Fine "Flat" transfers of the discs, and also have some "restored" versions I made myself.
So far the archive of abc (sydney) can only accept ABC bdcast material (a lot of the discs originated from 2K0) I have some interest with the Newcastle University and perhaps the Newcastle Museum.

I cobbled together a string of "bits" from these discs and made a "podcast" so that archives could hear bits of the discs. The discs were all in "dire" condition with some discs very "mint"!
All the bits in the "podcast" are my "good" restorations.

I was hoping that handing back these discs to some kind of "archive" could get a little bit of publicity which would surly help me obtain work. but this hasn't been the case.
as Ive seen over the years by reading the local newspapers whenever someone finds something remotely Old and hand's it to some museum some "hoopla" always surrounds the event. but when a chance of historical RECORDINGS, not just a few faded photos or a old anchor or some piece of antique furniture. this is Oral History that YOU Can emersce yourself in. but stone me no one cares. oh well that's why's there's so much Missing TV and Radio.

There's all kind's of rare material here. openings of various important buildings, Local Radio shows, an OB when the Queen visited Newcastle (presenters calling the "action" from various Rooftops), including her speeches. etc etc..




A "Podcast" of TS discs

Its a direct download Mp3. just a very quick "assembly" to around 10 mins to record. so expect dodgey production values and me repeating stuff I've said. It was just so "people in the know" could hear.

Joe Daniels - Benin River Blues (Daniels & Williams) PARLO CE10662

Joe Daniels - Benin River Blues (Daniels & Williams) PARLO CE10662


Joe and his "drumtaskics" !!

I have a load of these discs BUT most have been in a fire and the first few (quite a few) grooves are damaged beyond repair. Ild like to get some more though (i have about 5 or so more to upload though)Joe Daiels - Benin River Blues (Daniels & Williams) PARLO CE10662


Remember! If you want to support me in any way,
1. Listion to my podcast. ( I was a Bdcaster for yonks, and you may be suprised at my content!)
2. "Donate" on the "donate" button, I'm unemployed and rent is killing me. I may have to sell my "Restoration" computer to pay next weeks rent !!! (yes in Australia Rent is very very expensive!)
3. Tell Someone you know! (hopefully someone who can employ me!)

Fat's Waller - Don't Give Me That Jive (kirkby-Waller) REGAL ZON OA068812

Fat's used this at one stage for his theme for his Radio programme. (which was fascinating, largely because of his humorous adlibs with the announcer)!!

Doesn't the Guitar "shine" on this, Far better than the muddy versions on CD I think.

Oscar Rabin - Blue Skies (Berlin) REGAL ZON DR5110

Oscar Rabin - Blue Skies (Berlin) REGAL ZON DR5110

What you might ask. This is about as appealing as "Victor Sylverster's Dance Discs"

BUT, These guys played the "Charts" as written. No ad libs or musical gubbins anywhere.

so I think they are very,very important. Because, Just think some young fellow is getting into jazz/swing whatever and hears say charlie Parker or somesuch blowing his natural top on "Blue Skies" He might be amazed or think its kinda twee. But remember He's never heard a "straight" version of the song... Ever.. and is unlikely too as well. so How can he appreciate all the other versions of this song. quite simply he can't.. not without hearing it played "straight" and then hearing what his fav muso does to it. Get my drift?

I have loads of these and will post one every know and then.. I hope you too may now appreciate your own version of "blue skies" a little better after hearing this.

OK the Novatone. another "organ" that never lasted. with a wierd tone. I also have 2 by Ted Steele with his Novatone Ork playing 2 by the Duke.

I have 2 more Novatone 78's by another artist as well!!

This disc had a Very poor "master" or "mother" disc. you could hear the "noise" come in just before the music started!! (like home made copy's of 78's)

The Three Suns - March Of The Cards (fain) HMV E1-VB-1182

The Three Suns - March Of The Cards (fain) HMV E1-VB-1182

I have a few three suns 78's and they are pretty laid back and cool.. the 78's are much better than (in my option) than the LP's they released in the 50's - 60's
and yes thier "theme" song was Sunrise Serenade Written by Frankie Carle (of whom I have many 78's of)

Hammond
Guitar
Accordion

Ive only seen two CD's of thier work from the 78rpm era, and they wernt very good. I have quite a few more from the Fab three!

Metronome All Stars - One O'clock Jump HMV OA060332

Metronome All Stars - One O'clock Jump HMV OA060332

What A line up, One of the annual Metronome All Star Jams. from ( I think 1941)

Benny Goodman
Tommy Dorsey
Charlie Christian
Art Berstien
Buddy Rich
Harry James
and the cream of the jazz/Swing world

I'll have to dig out side B.

Ive heard this on many CD's Lp's over the years but none have the crisp clean sound of the guitar on this one!!

Which is why I endeavor to do these from "not very clean/mint" 78's, I Hate it when some "engineer" thinks he will remove all the noise "dulling" the instrument's in the process.

This from wikpedia

''Metronome All-Stars 1941: "One O'Clock Jump"/"Bugle Call Rag", recorded by Harry James, Ziggy Elman, Cootie Williams, Tommy Dorsey, J. C. Higginbotham, Benny Goodman, Benny Carter, Toots Mondello, Coleman Hawkins, Tex Beneke, Count Basie, Charlie Christian, Artie Bernstein, Buddy Rich.

Don't think its all right though

Harry James - Get Happy COL Rhco4016

Harry James - Get Happy Columbia

Another one with a "lost" Scan

I wish I could get a better disc of this one (again a junk shop find) A bit worn. and as you can hear if you take too much "away" from it (see TMNR version) it's a little flat.

The weird distortion isn't my "declickers" going overtime ( a sound i hate on other peoples restorations) It's on the disc.. I'd say heavy steel needles!!

Its like all the other "band's within a band" at the time, But this one kinda rocks. and WHAT a trumpeter!!

Ive always Liked Max Geldray's version from the last of the 7th series of "Goon Shows"
another one I like is Nelson Eddy's version from a 1946 (bootleg) Radio disc.

again Ive lost the label scans,

Arrival/Departure Of American Troops In France - Columbia 77249

Arrival Of American Troops In France - Columbia 77249
Departure Of American Troops In France - Columbia 77248



Now I don't Understand this disc at all!!.. I'ts called "DISCRIPTIVE" on the label. thinking (before treansfering) it was the "real" thing. I was kind of interested.. as it must have originated at the start of the "great War"
What it turns out to be is a bit of Propaganda aimed at allying the fears of all those at home.. Could this be the first real war propaganda to be recorded?

Dont Expect a sonic masterpiece! Ive have found (in a antuique store) some very cheap Pre Electric discs with some mighy nice labels. (this one is boring though)
and of course these must have been played to death (Gawd knows why!!)


Thanks goes to Luis for the below Info!

It was labelled as Peerless Quartet (as Prince's Band and Columbia Male Quartet), USA catalog number A-2354 (same matrix numbers as yours) and was recorded august 10, 1917 (Departure) and august 11, 1917 (Arrival)

also Mr Ian Grive Said..

There is an Australian version as well. Its on REGAL - Departure of the Australian Troops for the Front (Descriptive) (29378) G6883 Made in England. 2nd side is ????? The Australian Troops in Egypt.

Thanks Guys

The Above photo was taken by a "fan" 20 days After the recording took place!!
I had a reply from "The Unknown Poster" who says the illuminating things...

"I see Tommy Dorsey, Gene Krupa and Charlie Barnet...plus another man holding a sax standing between Miller and Barnet.

and he or she is quite right too! i had no idea when i posted it as is was just going though masses of miller pics ive collected and did not look at the photo at all i was looking for the date it was taken!!.. anyone know what happened on the 4th of march 1940?

I have another pic of some of these guys (add Woody Herman and Sammy Kaye) breaking Champagne bottles over millers "bandstand" onstage the pic i scanned says 13th Jan 1941 !
