Sydney Kyte & His Band - “Subway” (1938)
Просмотров 1363 месяца назад
From a 1938 BBC broadcast which Chas Cox kindly allowed me to take a few excerpts from. At the time this was the first broadcast performance of this song to British listeners in a series after a few that I will be uploading. Though unfortunately Sydney Kyte never took any of these to the studio for commercial recordings!

All from my own collection of 78rpm gramophone records. I haven't got as many records from the late 20's - early 30's period that's why you hear the same bands several times in this one! Also apologies for the sound quality of some. 0:00 - Manhattan Melodymakers (Harry Bidgood's band) - Should I - 1930 3:31 - Allan Selby & His Band - You Were Meant For Me - 1929 6:50 - Jay Wilbur & His Orchestr...

A famous English patriotic song recorded at the outbreak of the second world war by a number of bands and singers, in this recording it is sung by Alan Breeze. I thought it would be an appropriate upload for St. George’s day!

A compilation from my own collection of original 78RPM records. This is a first for me so forgive me for the shoddy editing and sound quality, I've yet to learn how to digitally restore them! Despite the video quality there's some rare gems in there not available to hear on the internet elsewhere so well worth a listen! 0:00 - Teddy Joyce & His Dance Music - New Moon (1934) 3:11 - Carroll Gibbo...
Bravissimo! :D
🎼✨🎶❤
Pour me a spot of tea and pass that plate of biscuits, please.
This sounds awful for a 1940s recording. Thin sound, without any bass. More like a recording from the mid twenties! And also very scratchy!
Wonderful voice!!
Starts with the Itchy and Scratchy song: "They fight and fight and fight and fight and fight".
THANKS IN THE NAME OF MANKIND FOR SAVING THE TREASURE OF GOOD MUSIC TASTE .
Bravo,sjajno!
Lovely
very nice!
Bellísimas melodías de antaño!!! Aunque sólo conozco algunas, las encontré todas maravillosas. Tranquilizan el alma y los sentidos. Es sólo dejarse llevar por la música y relajarse. Muchísimas gracias por compartir esta hermosa música con nosotros!!!
My mom was born and raised in Philadelphia (1928-2007), but when I played a CD of British dance band music for her, she exclaimed, "This is music I used to hear on your grandma's old Philco when I was little!" She hummed along with a few tunes.
!!UNA JOYA!!-GRACIAS!
!UNA JOYA!!-GRACIAS!
I have had an interest in what was once was life going back to my memories of my parents and their records sadly lost in time. This was their time. I was born in 1944.
This music calms me and sets me in a different time it's beautiful music

Bad night
Wonderful! Glad to see you back as well! ☺️
Thank you! 😊
Very good music!
My father was born in the 1920s and loved the pre-war British Dance Bands. He died some years ago but I seem to have acquired the same interest. Beautiful music from a classic period of British history.
Прекрасная музыка 30 годов..
The British did a great job in copying american bands like Guy Lombardo and Isham Jones. Ray Nobels british band is featured in the movie The Shining with vocalist Al Bowley.
Muy bueno! ! !

Thank you very much for posting such beautiful music that speaks of a happy time, but where life was also hard, but pleasant. Greetings from Peru.
A great post. Keep the music coming! 🎶👍
Thank you! I’m still around just been busy, would like to get posting again soon!
👍
Excellent compilation! Many thanks, Spen.
Great music, but who`s the beautiful painting..?
Although your comment is now a year old... It is George Hyde Pownall and it's a picture of 1910. It's relatively small, only 15 by 24 centimeters. He made several depictions of Piccadilly Circus.
I enjoy this very much. I hope that you're going to be posting more videos like this. Believe me, there's an audience for these.
I do plan on uploading more consistently but probably on a smaller scale
Wonderful, my friend. Thank you so much for sharing these.
Great selection of recordings and photographs.
