Its a gorgeous thing, alright! Superb video! I love the tune, the gramophone, the little foxtrotters, the channel, everything! thanks for sharing!

Fun dancers - did they come with the recording originally. Great recording of one of the best.

Originally the dancing couple would  usually have been bought via adverts in the press. They still work well (except on "The turning of tide" ).

Excellent record.The Columbia sound engineer was excellent also.Trumpet by Frank Wilson,a much better hot soloist than the soon to join Jack Jackson in his place.Playing hot they outdid Ambrose or Hylton

Takes some beating.

Keeps on getting BETTER AND BETTER!!.

A very rare side indeed. I put an asterisk next to the record in the Dance Band Book, in case I ever found a copy! Never did.

This gets BETTER AND BETTER, the perfect 1931 sound through and through.

You can see demonstrations of these toys on other videos, in fact they use one in the Fred Astaire film "the gay divorce" when they play "The Continental"! I always imagine I'm in the studio listening live to the band, that must have been out of this world! Grrrrreeat song!!!

1931 Jack Paynes with Val Rosing vocals are very good. I have a very good condition copy of 'You're The One I Care For', but this is nice and HOT!!.

I remember watching a BBC programme when a boy called 'Memories of a Musical Dog' about Gramophone history and seeing these 'turntable toys'! Great to see one here.
