Harry Hudson was Musical Director for Edison Bell records and his recordings were issued under a number of different names. The recordings in this selection were released as by the Radio Rhythm Boys, The Blue Jays, and the Deauville Dance Band.
Originally recorded for the Edison Bell Radio in 1931, these 78rpm recordings have been remastered by this user. - เพลง
This music is great !
Love these - had many of them as a small boy over 75 years ago. They were issued during the Great Depression and sold in Woolworths for sixpence or ninepence each - otherwise my parents could never have afforded them.
I should have been born 90 years earlier !
Have got a shed load of this music on original records. Some I have not got round to play but every time I put one on its like waking up ghosts. Love it.
Peter, you should be given an award for all your work in giving us this wonderful music and accompanying images.......keep them coming!
My award is letting people discover an enjoy this wonderful music.
I love this music !!!!! Thank you Pahachord
GwB1967AR My pleasure
This is just amazing! Harry Hudson was an excellent band leader, probably my favorite in Great Britain!
There's a certain excitement with these Edison Bell records you simply don't get anywhere else. Even in the States. Harry Hudson and Alfredo's bands just captured that energy a few bands had in the period, which didn't exist before, and vanished soon after. Even on a daft tune like "It always starts to rain"... Not exactly ideal material for a great record, but when you hear what they did with it, you have to be in awe. (Ambrose's version is a competent PLOD in comparison.) The Bowlly side here is also more fun than putting 100 wasps down your trousers! (Please don't try this at home.)
If you know what wasps down the daks feels like Alex, you must have tried it. Should I ask?
@@petertaylor3600 Is that daks as in Dad Slacks from Simpsons?
@@CamperVanPersie I'd go a little further into the matter, Starman. Where the wasps can't reach. But, I suspect the Simpsons might know a thing or two, so probably....
What a lovely compilation! Thank you so much for posting this and for all the "behind the scenes" work which this all entails. I've been following Bowlly for about 50 years and hey there were a couple of tracks which I haven't heard before. Please keep up the good work.
I almost fell out of my chair when i heard him!
I have never heard any of this before. It is great bringing these "ghosts" back from the past lying in their shellac grooves waiting to be re-discovered. Thank you for them, they are brilliant.
Thanks for posting this.
Love Al Bowlly's rendition of Wrap your Troubles in Dreams - I'm a great early Bing fan but Al really nails this song. And Sam Browne was on top form here - a much underrated talent.
Excellent stuff!
Just exactly the kind of music that thrills me
Main Account Can just about see Grace and Calvin Coolidge dancing to this privately in the good old WH or perhaps FDR in a greased up wheelchair with one of his girlfriends, not Eleanor, who reportedly said, "I won't dance, don't ask me."
This deserves ***** !!!! What a great bunch of songs and Al Bowlly, Harry Hudson -- a winner, for sure!!!
Splendid pictures of an era.Great the early recordings of Al Bowlly.Thank you so much for uploading them!!!!
!GREAT FUN TO LISTEN TO SUCH A CHEERING MUSIC
שמואל פפירניקוב I for one will play it loudly when bibbi and trumpy zip off the historical stage. to prison.
Every bit as good as Al Rinker, Harry Barris and Bing Crosby with Paul Whiteman? love the sousaphone!
This is getting monotonous but another great job ! I once had a great collection but nowhere near what yours must be !
An unheard Bowlly selection - what a WWII tragedy ! Bing who ?
Many thanks for the two Bowlly tracks Wrap your troubles in Dreams, Etc. Extremely rare.
Just discovered this gem and so glad I fell over it. Shared so I can play it endlessly. Perfect reproduction throughout as if recorded yesterday. Some I'd forgotten others I had searched for. Marvellous stuff.
Super excellent
Delightful
Thanks for these treats.

The recordings at Edison Bell were definitely ahead of Crystalate, Broadcast, Sterno and Decca at that time, by the sound of it. Quite hi-fi! I heard that Decca inherited some of their techniques after E-B went bust.

"It Alwast Starts To Rain" sounds like it is taken directly from "Pennies From Heaven" (TV-series)!
Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams
The sound quality may not totally up to HMV , but still incredibly good for the period. I Iove the warm and deep sound and the perfect balance within the band. The arrangements may not be as jazzy as Ambrose's, but the still are excellent.
For a budget label, Harry Hudson produced some good solid work. It may have lacked the sophistication of Ambrose, but they are spirited performances with good solo work.
Delightful 9:54

جميل 😘
Agree with dukesgal39. She is so right.
as an aside I note the advice that "permanent needles never can and never will be discovered". ooh you fibbers.
Time was when you could only use a needle once. After that you chewed up the grooves of your trusty shellac record. But for the days of LPs, yes, you're right.
pardon me prettey bayby is the best pancord
Great selection. Do you know who composed the song "Blue Lagoon"? It's hard to read it on the record image.
Fred Calam, Vincent Dodd & Roger Eckersley
@@Panachord awesome. Thanks for the info!
