Listening again, this must the very best version of 'Sweet Leilani' ever recorded. I've literally heard dozens of versions, but this soooo beautiful. Roy Smeck is playing a Rickenbacker electric steel guitar, but still uses loads of 'old' chords when an acoustic Hawaiian guitar didn't have yet the presence, the electric ones had.
All selections are superb, but Sweet Leilani really stands out.
A very pleasant Sunday morning listening to this wonderful selection, variety and excellence in performance and sound.
BEAUTIFUL Recording`s! I LOVE British Dance Bands! AWESOME INDEED!
What an exquisite selection of great english dancebands of 1937! It´s a pleasure to listen to. Thank you!
Brilliant thank you so much for the upload and great not to be interrupted by annoying ads
What a beautiful version of Sweet Leilani.
I'm delighted that this has brought back nice memories to you. I was born a few decades later, but this is my music of choice!
To me, Jewel Faye kind of sounds like an older Mary Lee. Thanks for uploading these treasures Peter!
Brilliant music, I love 'what will I tell my heart'. This music is perfect for just playing in the background while I'm pottering around the place tinkering with stuff and pretending to work.
Londonfogey A Skiver, eh?
+TXGTR I prefer to call it 'self employed' hehe.
Extraordinary. Sweet Leilani a standout. Many thanks.
Wouldn't the hotel/nightclub scene have been glamorously wonderful then? The war sufficiently remote at that moment.
such sweet music to the ears ,it's so nice to be able to click on you tube and listen to music I heard when I was ten years old
It was the year before I was born, but I love the music and play it almost every day
Yep! The year I turned four. But I loved the music of this era. Remember it on radio at the time.

This is sweet music - how great the 30s were. I don't think there's ever been a decade like it for musical evergreens. The Sixties were great too in a different way, but I don't think even that decade produced music which will last as long as those of the 30s.
I wake up dancing to this thanx for posting Matt NY
Hope it sets you up well for the day, Matt :-)
brilliant music. many thanks for sharing
What a AWESOME Selection of FANTASTIC Recording`s! I LOVE THESE! Usually I do not go past 1936! But these and there are exceptions to that! And these are GREAT Records indeed!
I must do another 1937 selection soon, but in the next week or so I have more from 1936 to come.
AWESOME!
EVOCATIVOS Y NOSTALGICOS SONES,QUE ALGUNA VEZ FUERON CONTEMPORANEOS DE NUESTROS MAYORES......
Love the Harry Roy side with Ray Ellington's "Fats" style vocal - hilarious. Many thanks again for more great music in wonderful sound.
Yes!
GREAT 👍
Wonderful collection, really nice sound too, thanks
Glad you liked the selection.
Gracias ,por ésta linda música,son divinos
Really enjoyed these. Thanks for uploading them. Particulalry enjoyed the Jack Hylton one with the Jewel Faye vocal as I have only ever heard her sing one other song (There's a small hotel) She certainly had a great voice
Jewel Faye is just perfect on "A Melody For Two".
Thanks for these treats.
+Richard Moon My pleasure :-)
Lovely 'real' music.
Excellent
We think alike on this, ziggy. Yes, I too was born in the 40s so wasn't around to personally experience the 30s, but oh how good it was. Cheers!
Oh, Lovely Billy Bissett from Canada, married to Alice Mann, erstwhile singer with Jack Hylton. As a singer he's a bit challenged by the loping melody....; Jewel Faye singing with Jack Hylton had come back with Jack ("Jack's Back!") from the States with The Swingtette vocal group who waxed a half-dozen vocals with Hylton in England. Faye was the only solo singer drawn from the group. Trombone-solo most likely by Woolf Philips, arrangement sounds like a Melle Weersma effort, a Dutch arranger - band leader who gave up his Dutch band to arrangem with Hylton. After his sojourn in England he went to Argentina where he wrote Penny Serenade, a massive world-wide hit (even recorded in Nazi Germany). Roy Fox's swingy recording features Art Christmas on baritone sax after the vocal
Thanks
I agree completely- and not just dance bands and popular music- but film, exploration, science, literature, theatre- so much, despite the depression, the Spanish Civil war and other skirmishes in India, Ethiopia, etc., the rise of the Nazis and the gathering world war clouds- a remarkable decade, and my favourite though I was born in the 40's.
Nice transfers - vocals very pleasing - many thanks
Thank you for your comment. Much appreciated!
I would also add that these are very good transfers. Can I ask what you use to decrackle those HMV's and Columbia disks. I always find it a difficult balance to reduce it without affecting the sound of the music.
I use a fairly inexpensive programme which works fairly well - Magix Audio Cleaning Lab 17 deluxe. There are more up-to-date versions.
Yes!
I've been using this program since Windows 98, and heartily endorse your enthusiasm for it. The speed conversion combinations are very useful. Keep on with your excellent work. (Edited for typos)
My ex-wife led a Hawaiian dance group and this was their signature tune, so I'm particularly attached to it. I've heard lots of different versions, but this is quite probably my favourite. And I love Sam Browne. Bowlly was great, but limited, because he had hardly more than an octave. Sam could literally sing everything.
The whole selection is beautiful, showing how superb British bands were at the time.
A long-belated reply, Peter. But as per your comments about Al Bowlly and Same Browne. Both were truly excellent but, in my view, Al Bowlly was the greatest of all the band singers of the 30s, probably of all time.
I rather like it too. Sam Browne's vocal is excellent.
Que viva la linda música
1st one sounds like any broken hearts to mend al bowlly
Great
Muy agradable!
lindos videos
Nice.
REAL music!
fantastic thanks for sharing
I have a version of " What Would I Tell My Heart" posted on my channel by Dolly Dawn. I prefer it over this version. He makes it kind of comical but Dolly makes it emotional, which I thinks fits much better.
Обожаю музыку и хиты20 -30 годов прошлого столетия х тя прошло более100 лет но ощущения такие как будто она написана сегодня все просто гениально а сегодня что? Это говорят и сегодняшние мэтпы поп музыки. Человечество деградилось полностью
Nice music to dance to. Imagine what the world would have become ifThe War never came?
Herrlich.....
Great music with the talk of war looming - a chance to forget the world's cares perhaps.
🖐🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤝🤝🤝🖐🏼
Are your records on here in a very good condition or have you doctored them for uploading . .?
The 4 thumbs down must be from Rockers! LOL
There's always an idiot somewhere. If they don't like it, why don't they simply stay away instead of juvenile comments?
Hi, can I use a bunch of your stuff for this mod I'm making?
