Yesterday's Treasures

Yesterday's Treasures

Hello all! I'm Phineas, and I run Yesterday's Treasures(the channel that you are on at this very moment). Yesterday's Treasures is simply a place to showcase some of the best(and occasionally the worst) of yesteryear, likely before 1950. This channel will probably be mostly music, although I do want to eventually expand to other things. Happy listening!

    When I heard whom I believe to be Andy Sannella with the xylophone, I immediately thought Grey Gull and it was. Grey gull studio band 1887 PAUL'S NOVELTY ORCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 4078=B GG1888? - 6/5/30 KALMAR-RUBY "CUCKOOS"

    No, these were made after the Edison company's switchover to standard lateral-cut discs. It's recorded the same way as any other 78 at the time!

    @@yestertreasures Thanks for the reply. I was curious because vertically cut ETs, such as World and Associated, were recorded twice with a cutting-head phase reversal the second time. This was done to eliminate distortion inherent in the process. My understanding is that in later years this was accomplished electrically. (The second recording was also needed to select the performances and put them in proper order for the final product).

    According to Brian Rust's American Dance Band Discography this is from the first of 4 NY sessions between July and Dec. 1930. He suggests possibly Eddie Paul or Paul Davin as the leader. Frank Luther does all the vocals. "My Canary has Circles Under His Eyes" done by Lawrence Welk in Grafton, Wi in Spring 1931 was issued on Lyric as by Paul's Novelty Orch.

    According to Brian Rust's Jazz Records, and his American Dance Band Discography, Lawrence Welk and his Orchestra did sessions in Richmond ,IN for Gennett and Champion in Nov 1928 and in Grafton, WI for Broadway and Lyric in April-May and July 1931. The Lyric side, Smile Darn You Smile, was released as Paul's Novelty Orch. Welk's first NY recordings were made for Vocalion in June and July of 1938. They began the very active recording period for the Champaign Music of Lawrence Welk with sessions shifting between NY and Chicago up to the Recording ban of 1942.

    Those artifacts are unfortunately pressed into the disc. Edison lateral records seem to have been sometimes pressed without much care, and thus sound damaged even when in very good shape. Unfortunately, I don't believe those artifacts could be fixed except with very advanced restoration software. Not every Edison Lateral is like this, but it's an annoyingly uncommon problem.

    Edison went reluctantly into the electrical process. By 1927, his accustical recordings, in good shape, played with a good needle were excellent. In 1928, both Victor and Edison made a very special phonograph, hand wound with an exceptional sound. They made their records sound great. They were large and expensive and only made a couple of years.
