This was from Billie's first recorded session with Teddy Wilson's band, on July 2, 1935, for Brunswick [this copy is most certainly the "red label" Columbia reissue from the late '40s {36206}]. Benny Goodman, Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, John Trueheart, John Kirby, and Corny Cole are Teddy's "sidemen" here.
Now-a-days...the vtr adjustment would keep the arm about parellel to the record, as opposed to having this arm cartridge much lower causing the angle to be quite severe in it's approach and thus causing the needle to track a quite a differnent angle than the way it was originaly recorded. I don't really know what a good tracking weight should be for 78's. I change my 78 needles every single play.
How true!! To me cd's sound so tinny that 78 rpm sounds almost perfect and what's this crapp about about cds lasting for ever. after a while the incoded information on them starts to break
down. on record depending how to take care of it could outlast any cd
I love this model of recordplayer. As you can see on my videos I have the next model of Philips, from 1954-55. Thanks. Enjoy your radiogram, as I do with mine!!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this with us on here!

BILLIE HOLIDAY who died in 1959 is the scratched-by-life voice of this LP.
Pearl Bailey who eventually was named 'Ambassador of Love' is not heard on this recording.
