Jean Goldkette - Going to Meet my Sweetie Now -1927

[lrh1966]

You did a great job transferring this Jean Goldkette 78!! This vintage record archiving is a fun and addicting hobby for me...Friends, Lloyd.

Please note, the first still is actually Raymond Griffith with Betty Compson in PATH'S TO PARADISE (1925), not Monte Blue. Love this tune. I had previously used it with THE LOVE EXPERT.

Victor often featured TWO orchestras on one record during the '20s, 'preservationhall'. That was their way of getting the most from their vast roster of "exclusive talent" under contract. It wouldn't be unusual to hear Paul Whiteman's band on one side, and, say, Fred Waring's orchestra on the flip side.

I think this recording is the later version. I hear differences in the orchestration and instrument solos.

According to the Victor discographies, the recording presented with my vid is 25354B, cut 1-31-27 NY as Going to Meet My Sweetie Now-flip of 25354A, Slow River. The reason for the difference in the orchestration is that you have presented Victor 20675B, also cut 1-31-27, NY,also titled differently as I'm Going to Meet My Sweetie Now. Victor 20675A is Nat Shilkret's Me & My Shadow.

I knew they had cut this song twice, just wonder why two releases?

[preservationhall01]

. . .and why is the Nat Shilkret Orch on the flip side of the same 20675 disc with Goldkette? Perhaps just a marketing scheme.

maybe

Still have a weakness for Green's version, but this one is fantastic too! Loving it...

With your permission, I'll put her version on YT. I know you had previously uploaded her-I do like her version too.
