Zefren presents the 1935 Rhapsody in Blue part - 2
Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:23:16 -0800 by Zefrenm

They say this is the first full recoding of a song that started my love of ragtime, the Boston pops, of jazz and swing music. So I present to you all my knowledge to bring you the best sound I have to offer. This album is probably an mis to early forties re-issues since the next big recording of Rhapsody in blue didnt take place until 1947. Most recording before this one were abbreviated arrangements played by the Paul Whitman Orchestra and George Gershwin so that it would play on one 78 Rpm record. So please enjoy Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra with Jesús Maria Sanromá at the piano.

Another great band from the 1940s that was integrated (Black & White). This keeps it out of the Swing limelight but made for some incredible swing music.

Zefren presents I love Me
Thu, 13 Nov 2008 01:51:59 -0800 by Zefrenm

I love the 1920s if you havent figured that out by now. An I love hot dance band arrangements, but what strikes me about this records is that it features a Goofus saxophone well technically not a sax but looks just like one. Listen for it in the second chorus it sound very much like a small accordion. Its a fun piece and Im happy to be able to share it with you.

Zefren presents Lonely Little Melody
Wed, 12 Nov 2008 13:52:36 -0800 by Zefrenm

Pathe records and phonographs were made out of France from two brothers that saw the potential in an early Edison cylinder phonograph. Pathe records are know for both center start and vertical cut (up and down sound waves) records that were only playable on Pathe phonographs. But late in the 1920 they started production on lateral (side to side sound waves) cut records for American phonographs. This is one of those records and you can listen to the high level of attention taken during recording as I did not apply any noise filters to this record. And interestingly enough the record is in pristine condition I dont think any played this record very often thinking they needed a Pathe machine. So enjoy and leave comments.Lonely Little Melody From the Ziefeld Follies(Buck Stamper Hubbell)Joseph Samuels OrchestraAn Acoustic Lateral Cut Pathe 78 RPM recordSerial number put the recording in summer of 1924Catalogue number 036132B10 in.

Zefren Presents 4 Hits on One record 78 RPM
Tue, 11 Nov 2008 18:58:34 -0800 by Zefrenm

This record company started as a used records distributor in the 1940s and by 1947 hit upon a idea. The company was based in Hollywood California and was a teeming festering bed of talent and had many people out to make a quick buck. The company would record 4 song unto a vinyl record and these records would have the number I hits on them. But the genius of this plan was to have the songs covered by the eager talent of Hollywood. These Talented people would earn every dollar by copying the sound of the original artist. That would explain when I tried to look for information of this band I couldnt find anything it was if the band never existed and after research the records company that is what I found out. So leave comments and suggestions as always.

Ive been wanting to find another Orthophonic 78 RPM record and I got my wish and a song I love to boot! My interpretation of George Olsens music is that it smack dap between Paul Whitemans Mainstream symphonic jazz and The Collegiate sound of the late 1920s. Its sweet but subdue catchy and with a hypnotic rhythm that calls all feet out to dance.

Thank Fallout 3 for making me comb the shops and attics of Albuquerque for finding this song. The Response was so positive for Civilization Aka Bongo Bongo Bongo that I spend four hours a local antique shop. Hidden in the country western 78s was this record. The ink spots a popular group in which my favorite song was Java Jive but now its this record Im presenting for you. Take stock youth of America and Olds Timers and share the experience of two generations decades apart meeting because of This song.Please enjoy.Galaxy News Radio Rocks!This is why i think Galaxy News radio has only songs from the 1940's. 78 RPM shellac Records would be the only music Medium to survive a nuclear war. Since Shellac records are an inert material its not susceptible to Data Wiping Electromagnetic waves that Atom bombs put out. That would wipe out all music not made stored in organic materials. That's all music from 1954 to now. I have records that still will play sound after being stored for 104 years. Get an I pod that will play after 104 years. and will proper care not to break one 78 RPM Records should last indefinitely So all my 78 Rpm records could have very well be part of DJ three dogs playlist so browse around and comment.I dont want to set the world on Fire(Seiler Marcus Benjamin Durham))Ink SpotsAn Electric 78 RPM recordRecorded 08.27.1941Catalogue number 3987- A10 in.

Zefren Presents Hot Louis Armstrong Dance band Recordings
Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:36:00 -0800 by Zefrenm

I normally i wouldn't bother with a 33 1/3 RPM record but there is a lot significance to this 1950 Brunswick Re-issue I hope someday to find the 78 RPM recordings of the these two songs. The re-issues should be played on a flat level pre amp because modern equipment and Equalization curves were not standardized till 1954. I treated the recordings as a 78 and slowed both records down 8 % and Im happy with the results. My basis for slowing the recording two parts, the recording seemed way too short and the tuba sound too bright. After playing the tuba for many years i slowed the recording till the tuba sound natural. So please enjoy and comment. ps if your wondering about the Dime, well i didn't have a weight for this pectiular tonearm so I improvised.Static Strut with Louis ArmstrongStomp Off let's Go with Louis ArmstrongRecorded may 1926Erskine Tate's Vendome Orchestra1950 Brunswick Re-issue BL 58004Flat level Pre-amp

Zefren presents Sentimental Journey w/ Doris Day
Mon, 03 Nov 2008 09:17:55 -0800 by Zefrenm

Every post just keeps getting better as I gather more information and experiment. I recorded using the stereo to records a flat level signal from the record. With every Swing era 78 RPM record I come across Im further sadden at the differences between sounds recorded then versus what Modern Companies will reissue now. This record was recorded in 1944 by this time America was in the hot bed of war. To keep the morale up at home songs of duty and nostalgia flooded the market as people longed for the simpler times. In Less than a year after this record those longings would be answered. Forgive the recording the record was on a bottom of a heavily moved stack of records at a record store and suffers from scratches. Sentimental Journey(Les Brown B.

With every Swing era 78 RPM record I come across Im further sadden at the differences between sounds recorded then versus what Modern Companies will reissue now. This record was recorded in 1942 By this time RCA optimized the EQ curve so dust from the record wont affect the sound as much as the past. This is a 1942 recording with my 1938 RCA EQ curve but at a 1945 turntable speed. Please enjoy. Glen miller is always enjoyable and I wonder if he knew that in less than a year Americas Swing Hot beat will also be called to war.On the Old Assembly Line(Bud Green - Ray Henderson)Glen Miller & His OrchestraAn Electric 78 RPM recordRecorded 01.05.1942Catalogue number 11480 - A10 in.

Zefren presents the Bugle call Rag with Benny Goodman
Sat, 01 Nov 2008 20:23:48 -0700 by Zefrenm

Every post just keeps getting better as I gather more information and experiment. I recorded using the stereo to records a flat level signal from the record. With every Swing era 78 RPM record I come across Im further sadden at the differences between sounds recorded then versus what Modern Companies will reissue now. This record was recorded in 1936 so the Equalization curve is very similar to the 1926 Orthophonic curve. So I offer an interesting hypothesis to the internet. That the recorded sound from the 1930s become Hot under the first wave of 1940s re-issues due to the decade difference in recording technologies. Subtle differences in standardized turntable spend and EQ curves could have made the reissues sound hotter to the American Public. I offer this Bugle Call Rag by Benny Goodman as a 1936 recording with my 1926 Orthophonic EQ curve but at a 1945 turntable speed. Please enjoyBugle Call Rag(Pettis Meyers - Schoebel)Benny Goodman & His OrchestraAn Electric 78 RPM recordRecorded 11.05.1936Catalogue number 25467 - A10 in.
