"You're In My Heart But Never In My Arms". Hal Swain's Cafe Royal Band. 1929

"You're In My Heart But Never In My Arms".
Hal Swain & His Cafe Royal Band.
Vocal refrain by Hal Swain.
Recorded, Cafe Royal, London, January 2nd 1929.

This is by Hal Swain's Cafe Royal Band. It was recorded according to Rust & Forbes inside the Cafe Royal on Wednesday,January 2nd 1929. The vocal is by Hal Swain himself. I love the constant Sousaphone throughout and the organ, which makes me question the recording venue?

This was the first song to be sent across the Atlantic from the composer in New York to a publishing house in London the year was 1928....by the way thamks for sharing your recordings.

I always thought that was 'Shepherd of the Hills'the previous year?.

[85scampi]

Brilliant. I did not know any of this - until now. That organ had often made me question the recording data. Thanks!

[85scampi]

Another 1988 purchase. I must agree with everything you say!

The information I quoted came from an advert promoting the song by Lawrence Wright Music Co in the 1928 December issue of Rhythm magazine...."This is the first time in history a song has ever been sent across the wide Atlantic By Photo-Radio, and in such record time!" Perhaps then as now advertisers make all kinds of claims that are not always accurate, so maybe you are right.

If you are interested I can you a link to the magazine.

Kind regards

Keith

I "LOL" everytime i listen to this when i see twiddlybobbys mention of Mr Oliphant Chuckerbutty!I wonder if he had a wife called Betty?

This is superb in every single aspect!!! Brilliant band, orchestration, vocals, acoustics, I even love the classy purple label. Thank you VERY much!

Lovely laminated surface on Regal, Hal Swain's recordings where amongst the finest on this label. The organist on this recording is Oliphant Chuckerbutty, a name I don't think I could ever forget!

I have just found that an "esty" organ was fitted in the refurbished Cafe Royal that re opened 3rd Feb 1928.Hals was the resident band from Feb 1928-June 1929.
