Nightmare scenarios! I remember the first time I ever heard "Just a gigolo" by Jack Hylton's Orch, I recorded the programme (I also recorded the Allan Dell programmes!) and took it on my walkman to work, I had heard it once going into work then someone nicked the walkman with the tape in!
I have Jack's version, on cassette, it is great; the full sound we love! I will try to get a copy of it put out somehow but I don't have the facilities to upload yet. The blue lyres version I only ever heard once and had recorded it but lost it years ago; I know what you mean by pressing play, worse than that is my party piece: accidentally hitting "record" instead of "play", leaving a nice little gap in an otherwise perfect dub!
Yes done that and usually when i was rewinding a fav to hear it over again.Another disaster was a friend taping daniel o donnell over a good dbd tape,and leaving several tapes on public transport in the days of walkmans!!85scampi may have that Payne version.
Jack Payne's version of this is the best ever but I've another version on an eclipse record (can't remember who that is at the moment). The Blue Lyres did a great version which I heard on Allan Dell's programme about 20 years ago and am still waiting to hear it again! Anyone got a copy?
I dont think i have heard the Payne version,though i can see it would be very good!I used to tape the dance band days but dont recall the blue lyres version-may be one of the times i pressed play instead of record,something i did regularly!!!
Scampi is right,Laubscher needles that a kind you tuber sent when i began uploading.I wonder if this other 524 is in as good condition as yours?Mine had a good polish yesterday,like a mirror!
anyone have ethel waters singing this?

Wich needles are you using?
I hear no scratch! Great machine you bought.
Got a mail from a fellow in the UK who has the same model as mine (524), so we are not the only lucky guys.

I suspect these are old stock British 'Songster' Needles or Laubscher, Pierre.
