- Hit-Of-The-Week records, made with the patented Durium formula
on top of a cardboard surface, were the cheapest and best-selling
records at the outset of the Great Depression.
In 1932 Durium was closing most of its New York facilities and moving the business to England, where Durium Products (G.B.) Ltd. had been marketing American Hit-Of-Th-Week pressings under the Durium label . The explanation was that a newly imposed 5% federal tax-amounting to 3/4¢ per record-made manufacturing "impossible.
Recording: The New York Twelve - You're Driving Me Crazy (Donaldson/Kahn), Hit-Of-The-Week 1930
Who the "New York 12" were - I don't know. Probably, it was a pseudonym.

I saw one of the Willard Asylum inmates had this record in her suitcase...glad I could find it and hear it
An unbeatable combo: NYC of yesteryear plus a jaunty version of one of my favorite old songs.
That overhead photo is intriguing: hats? enormous snowballs?
Wow! The quality is amazing!
Hard to believe that Durium could maintain such consistently high quality.
Great quality!~ I had about thirty Durium records prior to a flood. One would play really well even tho someone had folded it in half.
As for the song, I have a German version of this by CHarlie where he twists the lyrics into WW2 propaganda.
Thanks for sharing - it's a great version - my favorite of those posted here
I have this record! but your version sounds amazing. mine needs a lot of cleaning.
Guess we had the Federal Tax and also a Luxury Tax until after WW11 I remember the luxury tax on tickets and radios and the like but not the federal unless it was included. This song cam out the worse year of the deep depression years. My mon said it kind of picked her up.....thanks.

My father always wore a hat until the late '60s.
I think JFK put an end to the male hat-wearing
tradition in America. Maybe he was bothered by the high hat he wore for his inauguration on that long ago snow-blinding day. But in France some men still wear berets and, of course, there's the yarmulke in Israel and parts of NY--which, oddly enough, is related to the Turkish word for umbrella or raincoat.
Did they sell tho l932-33 were bad years for so many out of work........
Migawd, they're hats. EVERYONE is wearing a hat! Yet not twenty years later hatmakers were taking glossy magazine ads urging men to keep wearing hats. Styles change so quickly.
