The Ted Weems Victor recordings are a nice example of audio evolution in the 1920s. Most of the sessions were made at the Camden, NJ studios, and the comparison with NY and Chicago recordings is often striking. And I don't know what they were smoking in California to produce such dull and tubby sound (both in Hollywood and Culver City) and it is only when one hears a Camden recording that a fair comparison can be made. My own explanation for the success of the New Jersey sound is the fact that the inventors of the equipment and process were "in-house", tweaking and refining real-time as Weems conducted his band -- and this especially included instrument placement. The high-level techs were immediately available to make any adjustments from start to finish in the record-making process.
The depth and presence of these late 20s electric recordings are on par with Columbia's Viva-Tonal process, and often will surpass the dynamic range. As with all recordings made at this time, the results are hit-and-miss -- but when they get it right, one forgets that the year is 1928. If you listen to many of the Roger Wolfe Kahn and Leo Reisman Victors which were all recorded in NY, you'll notice less consistency -- they're often wooly sounding and have the characteristic blur that was typical of Victor in this period. But the Camden sessions rarely disappoint, and Ted Weems' complex charts were the perfect demonstration for electric recording.
As always, for the audiophile aficionados, I recommend viewing my videos on the day after posting -- RUclips takes a good 24 hours until the soundtrack fully cures and is optimized.
It could come down to a number of factors - I was surprised too at the clarity of the recording, given its vintage. 1. The quality of equipment (Cali might not have had its stuff together like it did at the end of the 30s) 2. The quality of the studio - I do know at Abbey Road there is a studio where they are loathe to paint the walls for fear of changing the sound. 3. Quality of personnel - the engineer knowing where to place members in the room for best acoustics and how far from the mic. Agree with your assessment - shows how much recording had improved in the 1920s over the decade
@@Diefenbaker57 ....thanks for your points -- all well taken.
Just to follow up, the original Western Electric system was a by-product of Bell Labs which was located in New Jersey. Maybe proximity plays a part here?
@@docmurph8681 ....all great things come from New Jersey!
The Western Electric and RCA electrical recording systems changed the landscape of the recording industry. Theses albums sounds like mid 1930's in standard quality. I agree whatever the sound engineering's at Camden, New Jersey really brought out the colors of those Will Hudson arrangements for Ted Weems. I can't think of better sound quality records for the late 20's. Even some Paul Whitman records are hard to hear despite Whitman's outfit allegedly getting the very "best" studio's.
What a great collection of one of American pop music’s greatest bands…Ted Weems would be so proud to know his legend lives because of excellent efforts such as this…thanks so very much for this post and all the work that went into it.
....thanks for appreciating the work! And for tuning in!

Thanks for this
You seem to be the sole supplier of high quality uploads of this style of music, thank you so so so so much!!!!
....thank you for the kind words!
This is definitely one of the best! What a great collection of songs capturing the fun and excitement of the band. There’s joy in their performances that’s contagious.
....thanks so much -- more to come!
What happened to all this wonderful old stuff. My thanks to the dedicated people who transfered every disk from turntable to Internet. A monumental task but an enjoyable one. Cheers.
....thanks so much! Your words are appreciated.
Fastest version of "Big Man From The South" I've ever heard. Tremendous, thanks.
Listening to your videos is like being in heaven every day...Prozoot number one !! Greetings from Italy
....Grazie molto!
Безусловно, это шедевр. Именно мелодии 20-30 годов. Ютуб представил большую коллекцию таких мелодий, которые я с удовольствием слушаю, подписываюсь, ставлю лайки.
....thanks so much for tuning in!
Thank you so much for bringing these great recordings back for us to hear. Absolutely love this album! Great job in cleaning up these recordings too. I have a cabinet style Victrola from 1927. Clarity is not its strong suit, at least not like these recordings. Thanks for all your efforts in collecting and making these available.
....thanks for the kind words, Michael -- very appreciated!
Seconding that!
Are you putting a New steel needle in every time? Had your reproducer been rebuilt? Those are factors in de-wooly-izing!
Wonderful Weems orchestra concert. Glad Victor let them record the big hits of the day. Thank you for stringing so many tunes together and cleaning them up so beautifully! Kudos for your professional efforts in producing these collections. It brings joy to hear these!
....thanks so much -- your words are appreciated!
Great! Sounding! Thank You so much for all your postings. I've been in love with 78's since I was one or two years old, I am now 81 years old. I listened to a lot of bacon frying sound (needle scratch). What you do to these records, is amazing. Thank You again!
....thanks so much for the nice comment, and for tuning in!
Parker Gibbs reminds me of Cliff Edwards ...!!!
Immer wieder eine schöne Sache die alten schlager zu hören ein Dankeschön an den der es gemacht hat.
.....thank you for tuning in!
Really great, upbeat music. Makes the afternoons much more easy to get through. I imagine that a lot of people who listen to this are kicking up their collective heels and "cutting a rug" or two.
I always love it when you post new Ted Weems recordings
I said it once, and I'll say it again and again... THANK YOU PROZOOT!! I LOVE 'em all... but this is one of the best... your collections always lift my mood and make my day!! God Bless You💞
....thanks so much for the kind words -- I'm happy to bring a little joy into your life.
Greetings from Melbourne. Thanks for your latest efforts. Much appreciated. I have some of the Ted Weems tracks on 78. They were issued here on HMV and pressed in Sydney in their factory. Keep up the great work. Greg
....thanks, Greg -- you are lucky, the down-under HMV pressings you find will all be laminated and super quiet (nice!).
RUclips : Isso é uma falta de critério , colocar a propaganda no meio da música .
Never heard "I'd Rather Be In Kalamazoo" before! Many thanks for sharing. That was never commercially released?
....that is a white-label Victor -- it may have had only very limited circulation.
Great music! Great sound clean-up, too! Please include time stamps next time.
But seriously… vote against day light savings time.
....I don't think they are listening!
A selection full of treasures. ‘Slappin’ The Bass’ and ‘Miss Wonderful’ are simply terrific. Once again Roger many thanks for this awesome present with the most beautiful sound.
....thanks for your loyal viewing -- glad you like this batch!
This is exceptional. The tops.
....thanks so much!
"Heartaches" was my mom's favorite song by Ted Weems , early 1940's , but he had a great band that covered many years .
'What a Day' - what an arrangement - what a band! 1930's swing had nothing on this except at the rarest of moments!
....thank you! -- love your comment.
Was Debbie Weems related to Ted...a Granddaughter?
🔥HoT Tunes❤
never heard of vocalist Parker Gibbs before! like his voice

I must say after listening to this prized selection of the best dance music around my Paul Whiteman 78s are in danger of becoming obsolete. I’ve listened to Weems’ many 1920s hot records as part of my 78 rpm pursuits but never with the audible clarity as you have set out for us. Dare I ask you “how do you do it?”
This is a grand presentation. I stayed on for the entire presentation last evening, not even taking a break. Kudos!!! And thank you.
....thanks for the kind words -- I've got more to come, but don't want to give you Weems overload!
Removal of scratches etc from old recordings is done through the magic of digital reprocessing. Every sound can be taken apart, cleaned up and put back together again like new.
I'm in heaven now! Thanks a million!
....thank you for tuning in!
Me too
Thank you for such a generous sampling of Ted and company. It’s been the soundtrack of my week.
....glad you are enjoying it. I'm on a Ted bender -- there's more to come!
Excellent!
A splendid selection of magnificent tunes,masterly player and record ed.A real musical picture of late '20s..Thank you so much for loading It!!!
....thanks for the kind words!
Bin zur Zeit in Österreich und höre täglich die schönen alten Melodien, ein Dankeschön dem Macher.
....thank you for following my channel!
