Scarce Australian flexible 78 rpm disc record, ca. 1927.

- Two rather standard and good (if not terribly spectacular) U.S. dance Band sides from 1927. They are Bell Disc masters, from 1927.They appeared on the short-lived Australian 'Aeroplane' label. I live in England and bought it at a London record bazaar, about 30 years ago. It just stayed on the shelf until I re-read Ross Laird's book on the Australian record industry yesterday & today. Thought a few people might like to hear it, is all! 8^)
Take care, everybody, in these damn stupid times!!
Cheers,
Norman.
I guess I'm old too. I find this SO much nicer than some dude swearing while some other dude beats on a flaming dumpster with a charred thighbone.
The closest thing to what you just described that I can think of is this band called Slipknot. Though I quite enjoy them, I get the sense that you don't feel the same
That has pretty much become all we ever hear on the damn radio.... a flaming dumpster or a drum made from animal skins, probably a zebra.
Great Fidelity, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this, Norman. Nice to “see” you again!
It's always a good day when Mr. Field posts a new video! You've sparked my interest in early recordings, and the equipment that played them. Maybe you'd be willing to create a video that is geared towards those of us wanting to get started in collecting and restoring old phonograph equipment? A beginners guide? Are there any early phonographs that a newcomer could repair, but aren't incredibly expensive? Thanks so much...it's always good to hear from you Mr. Field!
Thank you for such an unusual record - and a beautifully sounding one at that. Star that you are!!
Fantastic Norman. Thanks for sharing this beauty. Cheers Paul
Preserving recordings like these should be a much higher priority than it is. Thank you
Dear Professor Field, I was perusing your video titles and I was flabbergasted to find a 118 years old recording of the brazilian hymn. It is the abridged version; the complete one is the singing one. Even in Brazil it is not easy to find any recording of it, mainly the abridged version. People say: the more you live, the more you learn. I'll add: the more you watch Professor Field classes the more you do learn! God bless you and do take care.
Thanks Norman That was Enjoyable
I LOVE this Norman! What a GREAT Record! So clean clear and crisp, it`s beautiful! I have a lot of Australian 78`s Not one of these, Most all of them are Brunswick or ARC issues on Savoy, ELECTRON, Embassy, Angelus, Paramount (a BEAUTIFUL Purple and white with gold print) Melotone, Nothing like the U.S.A label!
Hello Mr. Field! It’s great to see another excellent upload from you, to cheer me right up as always. All the best from Bristol 🍻🏴
Norman, this sounds wonderful and very clear! Marvelous!
Inigo.
Yes - thnaks. Apparently these didn't sell very well. I bought it on impulse at a Record Fair in London about 30 years ago! How it got to England I dunno; it was quite expensive, but am glad we got it! Cheers, Norman.
Some really great 78's 👍
Very good, really enjoyed, thanks for uploading...
Interesting record and great tracks. Thanks 😀 👍
I hope you're doing well Mr. Field. We haven't heard from you in a while, and I think I speak for many when I say you're missed! Happy Christmas to you and yours!
Hey - that's really great of you to write - thanks, pal! We're fine here, am glad to say, and certainly hope it's the same with you & yours? Yes, one gets a bit fed up of the lockdown, but there's no choice, is there? 8^) Don't worry! We'll survive & carry on as usual. I though of making a video dealing with early microphones - making simple (but working) examples of the earliest ones. Incredibly, the first device to change sound into a varying voltage dates back to the late 1850s. It wasn't very good, but what the heck! So - I'll have to get on to that project.... Have a good Christmas, but above all, Stay Safe. Cheers, Norman.
Hi Norman, here from Argentina, please make more videos about vinyl recorder, its sooo interesting! we miss you
Dear Mr Field, a.k.a. The Mad Scientist: I do wish you and your family a truly Merry Xmas and a happy 2021, along with God's blessing and good health. Thank you for the great videos you've been posting.
Dear Boris, thank you for your greeting, and please accept those of myself and my family, in return! Although, like millions of others, we shall not be having a big family meeting at Christmas. It simply isn't worth the risk. But it means that next year, the meeting will be all the sweeter? Very best wishes, & Keep Safe! Norman.
Dear Mr Fields, a.k.a. The Mad Scientist, we are longing for new videos of yours which are actually an audio-visual class by an excellent professor (you, of course).God bless you!
You're extremely kind - many thanks. OK - there's quite a lot of jazz & dance bands on CZcams, & I like them a lot; so perhaps I should put up slightly different stuff? Oddball records? Well; I do have some of those. Will have go! In the meantime, take care and survive these troublous times. Best wishes, Norman.
It reminds me of Blue Skies, written just a year ago in 1926.
Glenn Johnson All this musical history is Heaven to me.Preservation is the key word and my word you`re keeping it going Norman.
Sweet beautiful music from the era when talent overruled the technology of the day. I thoroughly enjoyed this recording! Thank you Norman!
Seems we pretty much missed out on the flexible discs. I didnt know about this one.
Thanx for writing, and sorry I couldn't/didn't reply to all the other kind people who wrote it!! Please forgve me. Cheers to all, Norman.
Bravo Norman!
Loving your content Norman! Keep it coming
Great to hear from you again. I learnt to love your classes. Go on teaching us and bringing us these old records. If your bar is open, do have a pint so your light will become even brighter. Do take good care, Mr Mad Scientist.
Hen's teeth! Great music, too.
Love the xylophone
What a superb sound !!!!!!!
A great record. Stay safe & keep well Norman. From Ventnor on the beautiful Isle Of Wight.
Great. Would have liked to actually see you holding the disc and demonstrating its flexibility, if it wouldn't be too risky.
Why don't you use a puddle of water to cut down the record noise.... you used to use WD-40 you don't anymore! I was thinking about tung oil that be any good or would it dissolve the shellac? Same as linseed oil could that be used?
Possibly, the records aren't waterproof.
Much nicer sound than the usual shellac..
Nice - but I wouldn't care to foxtrot to either of them!
Thanks for writing. I guess they're a bit quick by modern standards? Sorry, don't know abut dancing, except that it MUST be at the correct tempo for whatever the dance is. That is absolutely crucial, no doubt about it. Cheers & thanks, Norman.
Thank you thank you! A dismal, dark, dank, drizzly evening needed these to lift some spirits! The tempo sounds about the same as all the other 1920s foxtrots; they picked up their feet and worked up a thirst, those days.
"Electrically Recorded". This must have been the early days of that technology. Sounds great..... Despite the drop-shadows 😉
This was almost certainly played a lot of times with a very heavy reproducer with a steel needle used a bunch of times .
I would love to hear a never before played record from the early days of electric recording on a modern turntable (as to not ruin it).
