There's also an interesting version of this by a group called The Federals that sounds like an early doo-wop style original but it's actually a 1957 cover version. I like the Del Vikings better, but the other one's worth checking out.
Oh, yes. My dad shared this with me long ago (around ten to twelve years at this point, maybe more) and yet to this day, I have never grown old of the "Stand By Me" soundtrack, chock full of oldies, that we kept playing in his old Suburban. Yep, those were, and most definitely WERE, the days.
Could tell it HAD to be made out of REAL shellac... LUCKY... in the USA, 78s made after WWII were made of one crummy brittle "synthetic shellac" mixture after another, none as tough as shellac. By the mid-to-late 50s, many big-label US 78s (Decca, RCA, Coral..) were so brittle they'd crack if you gave 'em a bad look...
Boy you know how "to kill a guy" by putting that old "tone arm" on one of the best doo woop records of all time. Your killing me with the visuals, but, I love it. Marc Trainor.
It's an Australian pressing, and was built to handle acoustic machines unlike US & UK pressings of the time. I've got 3 copies of this disc anyway, so if one eventually wears out, there's a couple more waiting in the wings. I've played this disc maybe 50 times, and there's no sign of wear so far though- even using a steel needle. It seems the HMV re-entrants caused far less record damage than the Victor Credenza's of the same period.
yeah if you play it again on the same record player you might not notice, but if you play it just once on a steel needle and then play it on modern equip. with a mag. cartridge and full frequency response u'll notice a big flattening of the dynamic range and a lot of distortion on the loud passages..(especially in the high frequencies) but i hear u, u have extra copies... sounds pretty good!
Thanks for the response. I love that "tone arm thing", visual, because it evokes what it was really like for me and others back in the 50's. Thanks for the response, and glad you have a few other copies, to cover you. Marc.
Then there is no record player amplifier in there? That is just a steel needle with a horn for sound? Sounds good...what year is the gramaphone...1928? (just my guess).
One of my favorite songs on Rabbids Go Home.

It's not as bad as it looks.
It's an Australian pressing, and was built to handle acoustic machines unlike US & UK pressings of the time.

I hope this is diamond needle (it has to be to sound this good), because if this is steel needle, it will wear down the record fast.
calimar28 3 years ago
No, it's a steel needle, but Australian pressings were made to handle steel unlike US & Uk records of the same era.

were the australian pressings 'magic'??? LOL.
