Wonderful selection of wonderful music and song. Nice to see Vaughn De Leath included, She is one of my favourite female vocalists of the period. Thank you for sharing. Always appreciated.
Bob, you top yourself with each post, and at the same time each song of the selection seems greater than the previous one. Here the "Who" rendition is superb but "My Blue Heaven" is awesome and so on... Beautiful covers too!

To Joe Cro I say "ditto" and then some. First, the orchestration was excellent on a great composition. Secondly, I strong suspect that we here in 2018 are hearing this recording with greater clarity than those who purchased the recording almost a century ago. Not sure how you manage such clarity, Bob, but it is welcomed and immensely appreciated. As always, keep 'em coming.
James, sometimes I am not sure how I do it either🤔. I often will redo the transfer numerous times till I get something I like. Many times I am working on them when I am tired and make mistakes that I catch after I am rested.
Another terrific posting by "Pax41 Music and Time Machine"! I particularly like and was quite surprised to hear the first track, "Who" by Franklyn Baur and others recorded in Feb, 1926 was an electrical recording. I'm curious, is it an "Orthophonic" recording on Victor or perhaps a "Vival Tone" Columbia recording? Every selection was fantastic and worthy of listening to many times. Many thanks for posting as always. Joe Cro
Hello Pax 41, Many thanks for letting me know about the recording. I should have picked that up since the recording does have kind of an unusual sound for even an early electrical (amplified) recording. I read somewhere that they only had a single double button carbon microphone between the Orchestra and any vocals a particular song had. There was no such thing as "EQ" or equalization in late 1925, early 1926, and consequently some of the earliest Brunswick recordings suffered from low volume orchestration or vocals. There was no attenuation on high vocals and they often sounded loud and discordant compared to the orchestration. Best regards, Joe Cro
I only wish I knew half as much as you two do. But, I'm learning. In the meantime I'm just in heaven with it all. Never imagined I'd ever be able to hear a variety of 20's sounds like this. I can only thank you for sharing this. Somewhere this comment just might resurface. I'm learning all sorts of things about 20s jazz from you two, I should know half as much.
Thanks - again! I guess the vocalist on 10 is Jack Carney, if it's on Brunswick 4865 and was recorded in NY on July 17, 1930 (not 8/1930). Or: you're sure about date?
There was such wonderful music and entertainment back in the 20s and 30s.
The best music ever!
Wonderful selection of wonderful music and song. Nice to see Vaughn De Leath included, She is one of my favourite female vocalists of the period.
Thank you for sharing. Always appreciated.
I have a number of selections by Vaughn and I like her too Walter. As always, thanks for the great feedback!

Bob! All of these are Ear Candy! LOVE THEM!
All beauties indeed!
great selection Bob, loved.. Who ...very funny ...with its charleston rhythm,,,,and hilarious backing singers.
Isn't that a great version of that song. I really like it too and wish they had made more recordings. I have the flip side and will post soon.
I've always loved My Blue Heaven. And "Who?" is wonderful from Franklyn. What a nice voice,.
Two of my favorites as well Larry.
Franklyn Baur certainly has a very strong voice on the first selection "WHO". Very nice.
Isn't that a great selection Larry? One of my favorite versions of this song.
Now you got me listening to this and I like this Ya Gotta Know
Thankss again.
Thanks again
Truly stunning array of tunes!

No it's a Brunswick Light Ray and thus why it has that distinct sound (and noise).

Glad you like it.

How do you get this recording?
These are all from my collection of 78's
I WAS BORN IN THE WRONG ERA!!
I think a lot of us feel that way.
Strange version of *Who?* - but different isn't necessarily bad!
I love this version!
@@pax41 Me, too! 🥰
******!!
Glad you liked it Jozef
Super excellent with very good interesting photos
