Very nice transfers 6d, as always. I wish the poor blighters had been more careful where they stuck their stamps and I wish more record labels had been more accommodating in providing a space for them!
Also, "Song Of Love" shares a lot of similarities with the song "Dreaming Of Love And You" - I have a copy of that by the Piccadilly Revels - is this a coincidence?
Jonathan Holmes The Gramophone, March 1927, page 424 reviews 'Dream of Love and You' (Columbia 4249, 3/-, c/w 'Brown Sugar') and comments that DOLAY is Liebestraum (the Franz Liszt composition, he got there first, same as 'Song of Love'). It also says that 'Brown Sugar' is 'very well played'. Popular/band music of this era shamelessly plagiarised the popular classics. In the USA there was a regular Tin Pan Alley legal defence when songwriters sued others for plagiarism - some learned professor of music would be brought as defence witness to give evidence that the musical phrase had been first used in some abstruse classical (out of copyright) composition!
@Victor Talking Machine 'Blighter' is a rather dated English colloquial word and has contradictory meanings. In the text to my video I had used the expression 'poor blighters' who stuck the stamps on the record labels: meaning 'poor unfortunates' - blighter here shows sympathy for the person(s). Its opposite meaning is 'scoundrel': the blighter ate all the food and left nothing for me; or the blighter who blighted my life (in the song about Alfsono the matador who ran off with the singer's wife!). Thanks for the compliment about the transfer.
This wonderful beautiful music, It reminds me of wonderful memories.
fantásticas orquestras e bandas parabens
orquestras fantásticas uma melhor que a outra parabéns a todos
Great transfer. Haven't heard this song in about 50 years.
Another delightful upload!
Liebestraum!

I don't know if Liszt would like the arrangements but I do very much!
