1929, Sweetheart We Need Each Other, Paul Specht Orch. 78RPM Fox Trot, Hi Def

[Tadd1925]

Paul Specht was actually born here in the Reading Area. The Specht house still stands right next to the cemetery where he's buried in Sinking Spring, PA.

reminds me a lot of AFTER YOU'VE GONE...

@VTMCompany I noticed the same thing. 

[MrXnews]

Great! A real win!

In the 1929 movie the song is reprised by Dorothy Lee and Helen Kaiser whilst Wheeler and Woolsey perform their famous slapping scene. Great fun.

I really enjoyed this,since Paul Specht came from nearby Pottstown,Pa.

Parlophone /Odeon contracted w/Columbia for these US Pressings, they used Columbia's west coast pressing plant in Oakland, hence the lamenated pressings - beautiful "sensitonal" surface and western electric. recording. Columbias always had great recordings, tonal balance and surfaces, which gave them an excellent product to market, just poor segmented marketing.

[78timothy]

Even the US Columbia issued Paul Spechts are scarce anyway on the West Coast, as he was a Chicago based band,

so the Parlophone/Odeons are scarceer. Frank Guarante on Trumpet. (his soloat 2:30). When you see a band named "The Georgians" on Harmony, Velvetone, Diva or Clarion that is really Specht's band being led by Guarante, really worth picking up as they

are hot. Yes I do have the Pollack on Victor of this, w/Jack Teagarden as the vocal.

[78timothy]

I have the Ben Pollack of this w/Goodman

great record. Sorry for all the sloppy typops in my previous entry. Have a sticky keyboard.

[RatPfink66]

Is that a statement or a wish? :D

I've heard that the US-pressed Parlos and Odeons are so scarce because they were strictly for West Coast distribution (being pressed in Oakland, IIRC).

????? Any intel appreciated.

This is from the RKO Musical Rio Rita released in 1929. Bert Wheeler (Wheeler and Woolsey) sings this song to Dorothy Lee in one of the technicolor sequence in this movie. The is from a US Columbia

Oeons and palophone euro equivilants are very scarce in the States, great western electric engineered sound and balance 5**** Frank Guarnte on trumpet.btw When you see any reocrds with label credit to "The Georgians" the band is led by Frank Guarante, and is Spechts Orchetra, - they are a good bet
