The gramophone on view takes me back to the one owned by my step-father which i used to play as a boy in the 50s. Still remember its sound - and changing the needles!!.
This is a different version to the one David Hamilton played at 3pm on Radio 1 every week day. That version went, "If you're sitting at home and relaxing, or you're working in a noisy factory, just set yourself free when the clock strikes three, 'cos everything stops for tea".
If youre sitting all at home and relaxing Or you're working in noisy factory Just set yourself free when the clock strikes three everything stops for tea!" ,, ,,,, from radio 2 in the 1960s & 70s ?? thank you at any rate , cheers ,,
Real Pewter?. I did not realise I had not seen this clip for THAT LONG?. March, and I have neglected this channel.I am almost slipping on a hair shirt in disgrace. The HMV looks great, the records frightening in their quantity. I'm having storage trouble - not enough room.
I file my records by the alphabetical surname of the artist for example, Alfredo, Ambrose etc. Then the order in which the records were issued with the earliest first and subsequent records follow by the cat. no. Dance records and personality are kept separate. This way works for me, I can usually find a given record within a few moments. Thanks for your enquiry.
I reckon they copied this arrangement when Decca recorded a "twenties send-up" version by The Syncopators, in about 1962. They just added a few 20s style cliches to liven it up.
Cool upload
I remember this song as a teenager in the early 70s on Radio One, London. Dave Hamiliton!
In the 1970s it was used in several TV adverts and one or two drama series..Most people know the song from this time rather than the 1930s
They used to play a late "pastiche" version by The Syncopators, from 1961 - on a Decca 45rpm.

Great version of this song - and I agree with the post below that the 194 sounds fantastic.
If you ever get fed up with your collection of 78s, will you give them to me as a gift !!! 🙂 ?

How do you know where each record is, how have you got them on your shelves ?
