Out Of Nowhere by Artie Shaw and his Orchestra (1938)

[wannawatchu66]

The title was inspired by, of all things, lousy restaurant service.

Jan 18, 1938 is not the correct recording date.

I love the way those old bands played...relaxed and swinging

[Destry7]

That was great!

& what a terrific portable player!

I wonder if there's a small, built-in tube amp or preamp & what kind of stylus does it take; steel needles? Are they still obtainable & how often do they need changing ?

[TheEldoradoKid]

@Destry7 Sorry Pal, no electronics of any kind on this portable Victrola! Did you notice the hand crank on the side?, and the way he set down the diaphram stylus on the record? No, this is strictly old school, I'm talkin' Tommy Edison, Bud, What you are hearing is pure mechanical amplification through a megaphone. I should know, I have a parlor model in my dining room, and it's nearly 100 years old!

[Destry7]

@TheEldoradoKid Well, I'm not familiar. It's amazing technology anyway, but why the "Sorry Pal" ??

Youse a tough guy?

Does anyone know if trumpet player

RED BORLAND played on this?

[swangonce]

He's not.

[annanoli]

@empirecarpetsux no. Bernie Privin,or Johnny Best.

[annanoli]

i agree with ratsafrat.

original recording RCA VICTOR BLUEBIRD BB10320

june 5th 1939.A previous version,dec.2nd 1938 has a less articulated sax special

[ratsafrat]

I think someone's spoofing us... the music is right but Shaw never recorded on a Victor Red Seal. In fact this particular number was originally recorded on the Bluebird label.

[swangonce]

It's a British pressing on HMV.

Can't say anything but excellent and I'm a 60's kid.
