'Tain't No Sin, Billy Milton & The Four Bright Sparks. 1930.

"Tain't No Sin'
The Four Bright Sparks, with vocal chorus by Billy Milton. 1930.

From 1930. This fantastic record which is in very fine condition was recorded on Tuesday, January 14th 1930.It always reminds me of the film, 'Elstree Calling' and the rendition by the Three Eddies.

Thanks for posting this classic!

I had the 78 (found in a trashpile circa 1975) but it vanished in a move and I've been looking for it for many moons.

Delightful, delicious and delerious!

Excellent recording, thank you! The Three Eddies are worth a look for amazing dancing as well. Does anyone have the William Burroughs version from Tom Waits "The Black Rider" ?

Isn't the xylophone sometimes referred to as "the bones"? They sound great in this song.
