@reikwai Thanks! I hope you'll enjoy the wide variety of 78's I have posted. I put up new ones almost every day.

I love the upbeat sound of the 1920's, very good version of this song.

[althazarr]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

This is indeed a Kirkeby "Varsity Eight" session, recorded on February 3, 1927.

wow ! What a rockin' version of this song, I think this is my favorite version, nice photos as well, just swell ! Thanks !

[78timothy]

Yup, just a listen tells me that The University Eight are the same as The Varsity Eight, = Wallace Ed Kirkeby = California Ramblers. So this is a pseudonym for Ed Kirkeby who also sings the vocal, that was a giveaway, along w/the Bb Bass Sax

(Adrian Rollini) Tommy & Jimmy Dorsey are probably on this record as well. Problem Solved! Cameos & Lincolns were part of the Plaza Group, Lincolns were the same as Cameos but Lincoln was for the East Coast, Cameos for the West Coast.

Great recording! This was released by the Varsity Eight for Cameo records. Many of the dance band selections released on Cameo were also released on Lincoln with pseudonyms for the band. Therefore, there's a strong possibility that the University Eight was actually the Varsity Eight.

[althazarr]

Yes, that 's what I thought too, but I'm not sure. The Varsity Eight was also a pseudonym for the California Ramblers. I found plenty of info. for the Varsity Eight, but really found nothing on University Eight. So did they have a pseudonym for their pseudonym for Lincoln?? ha ha ha Probably... If anyone knows for sure, please let us know.

I checked the recording dates for several Varsity 8 records on Cameo and note that they are the same as the dance band renditions on Lincoln. However, the names of the dance bands on Lincoln are different. For example, "Last Night on the Back Porch" was recorded on 9/6/23 by the Varsity 8 on Cameo; the recording date is the same on Lincoln, but the band is the University 6. You can check this out exhaustively by comparing Cameo & Lincoln listings on the On-Line Discography.

I have several copies but my favorite is by the "Virginia Creepers" on Vocalian 36596.You can add this to your list.

[althazarr]

Thanks for passing that along! I will definitely be on the lookout for that version. Vocalion is one of my favorite labels.

[Bigband78]

Very nice photos,but that old Lincoln is getting worn out.Lincoln 2626 includes Tom Dorsey,Rollini,Nichols? and Ed Kirkeby on vocal.Feb.3-1927.

[althazarr]

Yes, it is getting quite worn and I need to get another copy, but I still love it! I guess I've played it too much.

[pax41]

I thought this was a house band for Grey Gull?

[althazarr]

Your guess is as good as mine, because I have no idea. If you can find out, I would appreciate any more info. on this group.
