"Witch Doctor"- THE MUSIC OF DAVID SEVILLE

[dtzannabianca258]

Avevo il 45 giri con etichetta verde. Ai miei 8 anni e mio fratello 4 ogni giorno era una necessitá ascoltarlo. Fin quasi a consumarlo. Questa é la vera versione originale, con Alvin e company.

Un tuffo nei ricordi di un azzurro passato.

Grazie gramophoneshane.

Thanks for the good remembering.

IS HE DEAD

[rkinkead11]

Aha! OZ. Might be worth a collector pilgrimage, eh?

[rkinkead11]

Where did you find a 78 of this song? Or is that a video of a 78, but a 45 soundtrack?

[gramophoneshane]

@rkinkead11 It's a 78rpm. I think I've got 3 or 4 copies on 78, and only found 1 copy on 45. Over here in Australia, 78s were still selling well in the late 50s because so many places were still without electricity.

Why does no one upload the original recording of this song without the annoying chipmunks? The 1958 recording.... : (

[NewFormofSilence]

@ReallyRadReallyBad This IS the original. And it would be hard to have a version without the chipmunks because Seville did all of the Chipmunk voices.

[armegeddis]

At least one person had their ears ruined by the horridly excessive use of the new ones, and rated this down, that's so sad. :(

[magicmarkeruser]

This was the begining of the Chipmunks The ablum was released under the name Dave Seville and he speed his voice up for the witch doctor spot and it took off from there.

[thimoneus]

THAT is the REAL version.

[Rlotpir1972]

[TashkentFox]

I have a Decca gramophone which was manufatured in about 1925.

[Doughnut189]

Its nice to hear the old version and not one of new new, butchered versions.

[CrisVangel]

Kool, I like that its a 1958 record being played on a player so much older! Nice post!

[ilikepie55901]

[gramophoneshane]

It's an HMV 202 re-entrant, which were made between 1927 & 1931

[TheodoretheChipmunk5]
