Excellent recording. Although the cinema was demolished in the 60's the Christie organ was saved but has never been re-built to re-install and is now in a very poor condition. Some of the Christie ranks were transfered to the Compton at the Odeon, Leicester square and these are still in use to this day! It would be nice to think that one day somebody will restore this once legendary organ so it can once again entertain us!
Superb recording! I was amazed at the fidelity when my friend sent me a copy. The Regal orchestra was amazing! What excitement it must have been to hear this live back in 1930 then see the technicolor Paul Whiteman revue on the screen! You have a remarkable 78 there! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing sound quality from a machine of its time! Please, make a video explaining it! I am sure all us vintage audio fans would love it! Thanks for the vid. Did you do anything special to improve the sound quality? It's really surprisingly good, hardly what I would have expected!
I think its great...What is the machine?? I think an "Aolian VoColion"....it certainly is not an(edison the bastard, rapist, thief, horrible person,ne're do welll oafish lout, transient....go figure

The sound quality of that table top phonograph is fantastic! What Victor, or I guess HMV in the UK is that?
