Once again beautifully sung by our friend Ernest. You may have noticed him clear his throat in the early part of the intro. London wasn't the healthiest place to live back then & nearly everyone smoked, adding to the prevalence of respiratory problems.
I remember watching an old British movie from the 60s that refered to London as a sea of "fag smoke and tweed" haha. I can only imagine that it was even worse in the midst of the industrial revolution when the air was thick with smog from factories. I didn't notice that throat clearing either and I'm usually pretty observant, thank you for pointing that out to me!
@@misterphonograph1893 Don't worry, I'm obsessed with sounds that aren't intended to be there, gives a human touch to the recording. Rarer on electrical recordings, but this one has the word: "Stop" at the end of the intro & the outro: th-cam.com/video/xMYuqsRWd7M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ygiq23LYrgtq-Ry9 Might take a listen or two to spot it.
@@tiga4180 I am very fond of those unintended sounds and once I have enough uploads of them intend to make a playlist just for records with ghost sounds.
@@misterphonograph1893 That would be fantastic. Hope it stimulates further research. I'm sire, with the right technology, more behind the scenes information could be obtained from them.
