Thank you so much for posting. I watched Woody Allen's "Radio Days" yesterday and in that movie this wonderful song also came along. What a great era of music!

[ahdowns]

@toenoek Great music in Radio Days. Wasn't it funny when the burglar said I won?

[electricviolin201]

oh yeah

[bigcity233]

I agree with a number of the comments - the sound is excellent. This is the ultimate recording of this song! It's a great song - Artie Shaw made it greater! I first heard this as a kid in the late 60's ...it blew me away and still does. I told my dad he had great music when he was a kid!

[bbcisrubbish]

Superb arrangement, beautifully played.

[electraofpleiades]

No wonder thatmy parents fell in love dancing to this music,cheek to cheek, seeing these artists in person, What a wonderful time!!!!!! 

[joeasmythe]

This is REAL music..........

[JCJasion]

Listen for "The Firebird" closing cadence at the end. Subversive one, that Shaw, sneaking in a snippet of Stranvinsky!

By the way, this has BETTER sound than my my 7 copy. I think the Canadian division used better shellac.

[VinylToVideo]

@JCJasion I believe I cleaned up the recording after transferring it though the sound wasn't that horrible to begin with.

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful music :) Perfect sound from perfect Artie Shaw :) x

[luvtrns4evr]

such a great big band song and I love that foxtrot drum rhythym. Something not heard or played today at all. Artie Shaw had a great sound!

[pedrovono]

AMAZING! Can´t stop listening....

[electricviolin201]

My mother was born in 1915 and this tune was out in her haydays. Thank you so much for the recording. It reminds me of her so much.

[miladynana]

such a beautiful tune, thank you for this =)

[nytwings]

Thanks for posting this wonderful music!

[panzersRULE]

Too awesome...

[beautman1]

You get great sound on your vids! Maybe I should just get one of these Numark's instead of using vintage TTs for 78s. What do you use for premp/eq ?

[VinylToVideo]

@beautman1 Either the preamp on my Pioneer SX-1050 or the built in one on the turntable. To be honest I don't adjust the signal for older recordings because I find it actually worsens the sound. A newer Newmark like this might be good, depending on the turntable you're using. I'd of course trade this setup for a good quality 1950s transcription turntable but if you're using a Dual or especially Gerrard then this is definitely a better setup. I do miss the automatic functions though.

Great song! Wonderful sound! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for sharing this with us!

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

Another vinyl, Beautiful Music. Thanks

[sneskid]

Shellac, actually!

[FAUSTORICCARDO]

@FAUSTORICCARDO

[sneskid]

hehe

[pedrovono]

AMAZING!!!!

Come and check out at my channel - Dancing in the Dark - Dave Mckenna.

BRAVO!

[lrh1966]

This is great, and has good open sound to it.

[racheleleeba]

Lovely, thank you so much.

[iamascarydinosaur]

what is the record player you are using?

[VinylToVideo]

Numark TTX

[jmccracken1963]

Thank you VERY much for sharing this with us!!!! Personally, I'd rather dance with Rita Hayworth, but then I'd better be able to dance as well as Fred Astaire, too!!! Oh, well.....

[VinylToVideo]

I'd probably go for Ava Gardner.

[cartoonfan1920s]

Do you have two seperate styluses for vinyl and shellac because I don't think you can play either with the wrong stylus. Or do numark's turntables come with something unique to them?

[VinylToVideo]

Off the top of my head, I've got 2 78 styluses, 6 microgroove styluses, and 6 cartridges.

[ShawDAMAN]

Smooth. Makes me want to dance with Myrna Loy in a 40's night club. ;-P

[VinylToVideo]

I get a similar feeling every time I play this.

[ShawDAMAN]

ha ha ;) love this old music.

[VinylToVideo]

Another recording that used to give me a sort of similar nostalgic feeling is Benny Goodman's "Six Flats Unfurnished." I posted that about 2 years ago.

[ShawDAMAN]

I'll give that a listen soon as I get a chance. :)

[sneskid]

I have that one, somewhere... I'm almost done digitizing the Frankie Carle stuff I have. The Benny Goodman 78s are next.
