Bob, a bit late (I usually comment within 12 hours...), but a superb selection. As for Noble and Gibby, both have their own charm. I find it hard to choose between them. And Gibby's Boy Friends (a rather 'loaded' term these days) are always superb without any exception I've heard.
Peter Hendriksma I know that group name wouldn't work these days. I rarely encounter any Brit bands that fail to please me. The 20's ones are lacking to me compared to the American bands but they shine in the 30's.
Just starting to listen to this selection and need to point out the vocalist on "You Ought To See Sally On Sunday" is Dan Donovan, not Harry Bentley. Incidentally this number comes from the 1933 Brit film "Aunt Sally" in which Debroy appears and plays this song.
Panachord Peter thank you for pointing that out. I still have trouble locating information on the vocalists and dates. I am only familiar with a few of their voices that I can identify right away.
Thanks, make me feel at Home dancing at the Streatem Locarno, an Air Raid in progress but who cares , we were on leave and who worried about our future, just enjoy. :):):)
Fabulous set -- I love the British big bands. It seems that most were excellent, but if I had to pick favorites, I'd probably say Noble, closely followed by Carroll Gibbons' Savoy Orpheans.
@@pax41 So am I, Bob. All of the British Dance Bands of the 30s were special, but to me Carroll Gibbons with the Orpheans (or Boy Friends) had the edge. Big thumbs-up here!
In 1938 (Track 8) they had already come a long way to modern recording technique, by using more than one mic. You can clearly hear it on the piano, which now has its own mike and dosen´t sound so distant and muffled as in older or more primitive recordings.

Wonderful
Just think of how many millions of 78 rpm records there was manufactured, before they ended with this fantastic production!

I`M ABOUT TO PASS OUT OVER "WHEN THE FIRST PICCANINNY WAS BORN!" This is just BEAUTIFUL! Marjorie Stedeford`s vocal seems like a Lullaby!
There's so many great versions of "Without That Certain Thing" It's impossible to pick a favorite.
phredl Thanks for sharing this one Fred
OH! BOB! These are just to Die for!! I LOVE THEM ALL!
Wonderful Posting: Thanks a Bunch.
dick12235 Welcome bunches

I will be adding some Al and he is represented in some of my other posts.

john phil Thank you for the compliments. I have some more great tunes from the Brits I will be putting up soon.

Trombonology Erstwhile I agree, I am more partial to the Gibbons' pieces.

Hey, Bob! What is the flip side to "When The First Piccaninny Was Born"? I LOVE THIS SONG! It is just BEAUTIFUL!
+roybo1930 i believe it is Hot Coffee
#4, I've never seen that spelling of pickaninny...very interesting.
The only nice thing I can say about the Hylton number is Sam Browne's vocal. The band was getting seriously outdated around this period.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Thanks again
Welcome Frank
