Gramophone Test No. 7 - Victor Constant Note Record No. 6 Played on a Victrola Alhambra
Просмотров 24День назад
As Victor Constant Note Record No. 6 and the Victrola Alhambra I are roughly contemporary (both from around late 1925/early 1926), I thought it would be interesting to compare how the record sounded on the Alhambra, especially as compared to my homemade 80 Hz horn. The bass response drops off much more rapidly on the Alhambra than on the 80 Hz horn from 160 to 110 Hz, the Alhambra's response ha...

You're in Love and I'm in Love - Ruth Etting - 1928
The BEST jazz ever played without a doubt !!
No better version than this...thank you !!
LOVE IT !!! This song and music from this year , especially Whiteman's Orchestra . Thank you !!
Awesome !! Love it !!
Thank you!!
Many thanks for making the effort involved .
Good morning
Is this a cylinder or disk machine? Can't tell
It's a disc machine--I made it with a Victor motor and turntable, Victor Orthophonic soundbox, HMV tone-arm, makeshift homemade cabinet, and homemade horn based on the EMG gramophones of the 1930s.
This is superb.
Terrific side! So many talented people--singers, dancers, comedians--performed live and on record in those days, and yet never became stars. Just accomplish performers providing joy to audiences throughout the country... Thanks for remembering these two.
This is so entirely cool. We are visiting the late 20s before the Great Crash. Heavenly!!
Exelent
😊awe, the lovely stroll down memory lane ❤
Well, interesting ... not really to my current taste, old fashioned style, but ok
This is a good music from the civil war
I have this selection by Waring's Pennsylvanian's on Victor.
I never know they recorded this song--I'll have to look for their version!
100 Hz one has a little bit of what sounds like a rattle on some of the lower notes
Could be--I have another record ("Blue Again" by Duke Ellington, 1930) with very strong bass and very pronounced wear on the bass notes; on the 100 Hz horn, it sounds like a buzzing rattle with a hint of bass, but on the 80 Hz horn, it sounds like bass with a bit of rattle. Not sure whether it's that the bigger horn has more bass, so the rattle is less noticeable, or whether it's because the needle doesn't rattle around in the groove on the bass notes if the horn is big enough to pass them instead of reflecting them back into the horn.
Kahn had an interesting life, much of privilege (came from a wealthy family) He had his own band at age 18 in 1925 and started cutting records that year. What he didn't have was longevity as he died at age 54 in 1962. I enjoyed his work as I have this and some other 78s of his songs. The flip side of this one (George Olsen's 'Do Do Do") is also a good number.
Paul Biese died in 1925.
I'd like to know the identity of the vocalist. The orchestra sounds great and better than the Paul Whiteman version on Columbia. Bing Crosby was the vocalist on that.
The singer is Tom Waring (he originally played piano with the band as well, but by 1929 seems to have been only singing).
Thanks ! I like Roy Smecks version also .
The actual composer of this piece was the incomparable British (later American) organist Edwin H Lamare. Originally titled Andantino. Ben Black and Neil Moret (real name Charles Daniels) used the melody without permission adding words. It became a popular hit. Lemare threatened legal action but subsequently received his due royalties.
I have this one by Ted Lewis and his Band
Bob Causer had one of the best orchestras during the Depression era. The vocalist is excellent, the tune and lyrics are good and the surface noise is minimal.
Does this rare Orthophonic Victrola have a brass or potmetal reproducer?
The original soundbox was an early pot-metal version, but as it was swollen and crumbling and the needle-bar pivots were out of alignment, I'm currently using a later pot metal soundbox (from a Victrola VV 2-55 portable).
Blue moments, we all have them.😌 It seems that this music lifts us in an ironic sort of way...petting and consoling our sad side. My thanks for this beauty.💖
🔹🔹🔹👁️👁️🔹🔹🔹🎹 Same.
Delightfully romantic. Like the way she ups the tempo a little & the subtle (muted?) trumpet joins in with the pianist toward the end.

So crisp and clear!
It's just great that these records are still playing.

A most jovial tune!😁 Such remarkable playing!💖
Wonderful syncopation, what a beat.
Love it!
Thank you for this!
Love it!
Very nice
Great tune…nice version!
Great tune…legendary band
Interesting results to hear & surprised that such a record would be produced so early on in the electric recording era. Wonder how this would have sounded (if at all) on the motley collection of gramophones available then, many of which would date to the acoustic recording era.
I was surprised when I learned about these records, too--they're very useful, though! I'm guessing that a pre-Orthophonic machine would be able to reproduce at least the higher notes on this record, but might have trouble tracking the lower notes--even on my homemade gramophone, with a professionally-rebuilt soundbox and large horn, I had to leave off my usual counterweight in order to keep the needle in the groove, especially for notes on side A (110-125 Hz). At some point, I plan to do a similar test video of my c. 1926 Victrola Alhambra (one of the early Orthophonics) which is roughly contemporary with this record.
The machine is accustical, the recording was a 1925, early electric. The record was taken care of.
Wow, that’s interesting to hear very early Nat Shilkret. Great band and recording, thanks for sharing!
Great band and arrangement, never heard this tune before. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Glad you liked it!
" Granny ", is on the flip side of this one
Ah a late acoustical recording from 1928 after everyone else had moved to electronic recording technology. Apparently Columbia upgraded an acoustical studio in 1924 and did not want to waste their investment. So they used it for their discount Velvet Tone label. I suppose you could say this represents the epitome of acoustical recording in it's final days.
If I might be permitted to wander today to the hill to watch the scene below. This was a song my great-great aunt Hattie use to sing to me long ago when I was young. And now I am aged and grey - though not quite as aged and grey as she was then - she having been born in 1884 and I now just a year shy of 70. It is hard to explain how many years one person can bridge without having lived them by having known people who did. Even more astonishing was that her mother -my great, great grandmother - with whom I shared a birthday and who turned 100 when I turned 9 said to me that day, "When I was born Abraham Lincoln was president!" So while I usually think of this song in a more sentimental turn of the century style, I always enjoy hearing it in any form.
Lovely 🌹🌹🌹 🎶🎶🎶 Thank You
Glad you liked it!
