Have you given any details concerning your radiogram and your gramophone? I'd really like to know more about them. The radiogram, especially, has a beautiful tone and the sound is quite detailed. It always amazes me when I hear electronics from that era - little sound above 5000 hrz, but they really catch the beat. Have you ever heard an HMV reentrant in person? I've heard an Orthophonic Victrola - amazing what the acoustic machines achieved, as well.

There is definitely something abstract about this song, it's like one of those weird Raymond Scott numbers Sydney Lipton recorded and yes I could see it forming part of those tree-house dancers programme (some will wonder what this is all about!). Anyone heard "River stay 'way from my door" by Jack Payne, IT IS FAB!

Brilliant rythmic 1930 big sound Payne!Medium tone is good.Dont you think the sound is enhanced by the lovely wooden cabinets of these grams.Wouldnt it be good to find a gram that was turned into a drinks cabinet or something,and put a modern plastic hi fi in,hiding 21st century electrics and enriching sound quality?

Well, I don't know. One cannot live entirely in the past you know. Having instant access to modern sound reproduction is one of the few blessings of modern electrics.

Yes,but FAR better if something can be hidden in say a 1930 gramophone cabinet turned into a cupboard years ago,allowing it to be still used for its intended use in an updated way?Im all for living entirely in the past if things can be hidden away!

The Roy Fox version has a vocal by Kenneth Allen and was the second recording session for Foxes band on October 31st 1930 - Jack got there first!.

Those jungle drums are something else. Jack Payne's flourishing sound is the new depression buster of the 21st century. It did it in 1929 so 80 years later I think he is going to brighten up many lives again! Yahoo! We're at the front line!
