Fats Waller - Scram





Another Fats title for your delctaion.

Sorry about the absence of tracks for a while, Ive been busy with some work! yes work, real paid employment!.
Ok it was for a call centure but it was nice being able to "live" for a while rather than just to "exist"

Ive not found any more 78's in my travels (still have a few hundred to post here already worked on)

Not many people leaving notes of thanks (or of hate!) and I can see (from, rapidshare logs) that 10000's of people have downloaded tracks! So some observations would be nice. At least I could see that posting tracks is appreciated.

Well enough of that and lets get down to the track

Fats Waller - Scram. A nice Regal Zonophone Pressing showing some wear and tear. Although visualy perfect, Which is the great curse in collecting these things, looks arnt everything.

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.

Fats Waller and his Continental Rhythm



A full 78 from Mr Waller and his Continental Rhythm

These tracks I believe, Were recorded in London in 1938 (someone help me with the dates!)

They are like his US recording but with a Violin as well , Enjoy!

Thanks goes to Mr. LF Barfe for the info below

The Fats Waller sessions with his Continental Rhythm took place at the EMI Abbey Road studios on 21 August 1938. Personnel was: Dave Wilkins (tpt); George Chisholm (tmb); Alfie Kahn (clt & tenor sax); Ian Sheppard (tenor sax); Fats Waller (piano and celeste); Alan Ferguson (guitar); Len Harrison (bass); Edmundo Ros (drums). His recordings on the Abbey Road Compton organ are worth hearing too.

Blimey George Chisolm and Edmundo Ros Wierd!!

Fats Waller - Swinga-Dilla Street Regal Zonophone




Hear Fats on the Hammond!

This is one of my Fav Waller 78's, just have a listen to his left hand blurt out passages every now and then which sound just divine!! very contemporary for the 30's.
Ive restored this one many times trying to get it Just right Let me know if it worked!

He is backed of course by his Rhythm, Does anyone know if he recorded anything like this again?, I have 100's of fats Transferred from 78 (and most of em very clean discs) but It don't get much swinger than this!


The stereo version is nice on this one.

Again a quick restoration all done in under 30 seconds.
and the usual 3 versions of each plus a high quality pic of the Label
