Re: Big Band records - plummy sound
Unlike many other members, perhaps, I first heard the Dance Band Records of the 30s on a wind-up gramophone when a Child in the late 1940s/early 1950s, and in fact continued to listen to records on a gramophone, including the then new ones, until the late 1950s, and even into the early 1960s. Records included some by Jack Payne, Jack Hylton, and other bands, including Primo Scala, Troise and his Mandoliers, Sidney Torch, etc. For some years now, I have been trying, without success, to find on CD or LP, Jack Hylton's recording of 'When it's Springtime in the Rockies,b/w 'Around the Corner', Jack Payne's 'You're gonna be Young', and others first heard almost 70 years ago on 78s.
