- This is Breakaway by The Piccadilly Players, recorded in 1929. This is, in my opinion, the best version of Breakaway that exists(at least in some quantity). This record is owned by Jeff Wood, a fellow collector, who graciously allowed me to put this on RUclips, since it hadn't been uploaded before.
Super version, ce disque a été beaucoup écouté ça s'entend, cela veut dire que la musique est bonne 👍
It's my favorite version! Thank you for listening!
These are real treasures. You let this wonderful music live forever.
My favorite version is by The Dorsey Brothers, but this is a good one
Great version, never heard it before, very similar to the same band's recording , but on the Edison Diamond Disk label … thank you for sharing…
Really great!!the tune was exciting and the band played it wonderfully.thank you!!
Recorded on July 2, 1929.
Must be among the last Edison records manufactured.
fabulous
I have an Edison P-2 needle-cut portable.. made for 3 months in 1929 before he abandoned the phonograph works
The P-2 had nickel plated metal and the P-1 had gold plated metal...
That's super cool! I've always wondered how they sounded, how are they?
@@yestertreasures Believe me when I say absolutely stunning............. the best portable I've ever heard and I'm 73..
I don't have phone video capabilities but when my friend returns from vacation, I'll try to get a video if the P-2 playing a tune...
Thank you very much!
Great version! A rare label here, only available for a few months in the fall of 1929, right?
It's a shame this talkie is lost. The sequel 1930 Fox Movietone Follies exists luckily! A print was shown at a New York film festival about twenty years ago.
Yes, that's correct. It really is a shame that this label(and by extension the Edison record company) and the 1929 Follies were lost to the depression. Luckily we still have the songs!
Very nice ! Wonderful arrangement !❤❤
I agree! This is probably my favorite version of this song!
This IS different. A solo takes the spotlight, and quite nice. I do like it better.
It's very much my favorite version!
Awesome!
Were these vertically cut like the acoustic Diamond Discs?
No, these were made after the Edison company's switchover to standard lateral-cut discs. It's recorded the same way as any other 78 at the time!
@@yestertreasures Thanks for the reply. I was curious because vertically cut ETs, such as World and Associated, were recorded twice with a cutting-head phase reversal the second time. This was done to eliminate distortion inherent in the process. My understanding is that in later years this was accomplished electrically. (The second recording was also needed to select the performances and put them in proper order for the final product).
This recording is well worn. I like the George Olsen version on Victor better. Vocal by Fran Frey.
I wouldn't blame you for thinking that it is! This disc is actually in very nice shape, but Edison Lateral records have an unfortunately common pressing problem, which means the imperfections are pressed into the disc. The George Olsen version is also very good, I have a copy myself!
Edison's heart was never into the electrical process. He was getting into his eighties and his sons seemed disinterested.
1929 !!!!!
How does one fake away?
You know, I've never thought about it. I can only imagine one in a dance pair faking their partner out by pretending to start a waltz or something.
I have the version from Columbia records. i like this one better, except for all the dropouts. Are they from some sound enhancing program?
Those artifacts are unfortunately pressed into the disc. Edison lateral records seem to have been sometimes pressed without much care, and thus sound damaged even when in very good shape. Unfortunately, I don't believe those artifacts could be fixed except with very advanced restoration software. Not every Edison Lateral is like this, but it's an annoyingly uncommon problem.
Edison went reluctantly into the electrical process. By 1927, his accustical recordings, in good shape, played with a good needle were excellent. In 1928, both Victor and Edison made a very special phonograph, hand wound with an exceptional sound. They made their records sound great. They were large and expensive and only made a couple of years.
@@rjtwigg1 They couldn't sell them after the market crash!
@@yestertreasures I recall a Diamond Disc version of a piece had a slightly-noticeable artifact that was glaring in the Needle Type version. Sad that Edison quality control slipped so much, but in hindsight, it's a miracle these discs even existed...!
❤❤❤🩹
Great side. Maybe try another stylus though?
The artifacts you hear are caused by the record itself, not by the stylus used. Edison Lateral records have an annoyingly common pressing problem, which means the artifacts you hear are pressed into the disc itself.
@@yestertreasures I didn't know about that problem.I must have been lucky. I had a copy of this Edison which played fine, and a few other Edisons which were okay, although very "choosy" about which stylus they preferred :-)
