Re: Big Band records - plummy sound
The Piccadilly Dance orchestra specialises in re-creating dance music from the 20's – 40's
On their CD PICCD 102 ( Brighter Than The Sun ) recorded in 2011 are two numbers;
Tr10 “You Ought To See Sally on Sunday” and Tr 12 “If I Had a Talking Picture of You”.
Track 10 follows very closely, the Ray Noble / Al Bowlly 1933 arrangement on HMV 6440.
Track 12 follows very closely the Jack Hylton / Sam Browne 1929 arrangement HMV 5742.
The PDO CD was recorded at a live performance, but gives a very good hi fi re-creation of the two original recordings
I have a cassette copy of HMV 5742 which I made years ago ( garrard 401 / sme 3009 / shure M55 with 78 stylus ) sounds pretty good
