@videostunad Thank you Sal! Duke Ellington could do it all. :-) The flipside "Saturday Night Function" is awesome too.

[mdmphd]

LOVE that color - and a kickin little tune as well - Thanks for posting!

[althazarr]

@mdmphd Thank you! I love these blue Columbia's too. It's a shame the depression kept them from being very popular.

[78s4FR]

I just love these coloured shellac's. Shame the idea never caught on in the UK

[jdh1969]

Thanks a lot for posting this.

[RCALennon]

I like this. I noticed the sounds is very clean... did you do anything to the recording to clean it up?

[althazarr]

No, some are just in better condition than others, and it was also recorded direct.

[bythebytheway]

My Dear althazaar,

Thank you for sharing, keep them coming!

[althazarr]

Very good recording by Duke Ellington from the period I like his recordings the most- 1920's. I can hear Wellman Braud's driving bass really good

[althazarr]

Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I agree, the bass is outstanding on this one.

Hi,

These issues were referred to Royal Blue Wax Columbias. They spanned a period from late 1932 - 1936. This record is a reissue from a 1929 master release. Fidelity is great.. Royal Blues issued when recorded, usually did not have that great fidelity, because of the medium.The Blue Shellac was thinner than the original black shellac, and they used a paper core instead of a heavy graphite core with the Black shellac issues. The sound was a little more brittle sounding. Rare & great record!!

[althazarr]

Thank you for your added information as always Timothy! You're an endless well of knowledge for sure that helps me in my endeavor. I always appreciate your comments.

[CrisVangel]

Pretty cool, different kind of song there.. love the blue record! How cool is that?

[CurzonRoad]

Wow! Really great! THANKS!

[redoubtable3]

Splendid! What a gorgeous disc. A real Beat record, thirty years ahead of its time:)

[althazarr]

Absolutely! Duke Ellington was far ahead of his time for sure. Thanks for listening!
