Since it looks like there are some Shining fans here. I thought I would let you know a fun fact. Joe Turkel told me that Stanley Kubrick shut down production for one whole day because the ashtrays for the 1921 ball were from the wrong decade. The longer this quarantine goes, the more I think Jack from The Shining actually held it together quite well! Great Video!
Fantastic gramophone - when this song was released c-1934 - it did fair to well via sales - now thanks to 'The Shinning' and Doctor Sleep -it is something of a standered - Ray Noble what a great orchestra - all the more so by having - for my money - the greatest singer of them all - Al Bowlly - just my view.
Al Bowlly's voice certainly captures the 30's like no other in my book. Always on the hunt for more of his records. Not sure what you mean about the number, although, like 24699, was recorded 4-5 months before the discs immediately before and after.
Real wonder! The digitalization of this song, is absolutely useless. In this 78 rpm on hear the real texture of the voice and of the orchestra! Absolutely superb! Thanks for this precious post ✌️👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟!
I was in the Army then and I met that girl. We danced and promised to meet again at the same place but the war came and I could never see her again.............
A STUNNING specimen. Never seen the like. Such a rich voice. Where on earth did you find this? I have a cabinet style Victrola from 1915 - but this is of an entirely different order.
I don't recall where I found the record, but drove from Chicago to Alexandria, Virginia to buy this EMG gramophone. It needed to be rebuilt, but very worth it, as they are rare. I also recently acquired one of the large ones - stunning sound!
"You were the caretaker here. I recognize you. I saw your picture in the newspapers. You, uh, chopped your wife and daughter up into little bits. And then you blew your brains out." "That's strange, sir. I don't have any recollection of that at all." "Mr. Grady, you *were* the caretaker here."
