Paul Whiteman & Orchestra - Lonely Melody, Take 3 - Victor 25366

[EdwardHKDC]

Great playing from Bix, good arrangement, excellent remastered sound quality. But Mr Atticus70, the repeated zooming in and out from the label is tedious and tiring on the eyes! I think you should have just done a single zoom and held it there.

This was one of those numbers in which three or more "takes" were recorded at one session (quite common for recorded music back then); in this instance, the first was issued at the time {#21214}, the second was "discarded", and the third was "held" for an unspecified period- in this case, until 1936, when Victor gathered together a number of Whiteman's "alternate takes", and issued them as single releases or "album sets". Here. Bix and Tram finally get the credit they deserved.
