DURIUM DANCE BAND 1932-"LOVEABLE" &"FOOLISH OVER YOU"

THIS IS AN EXCELLANT RECORD ,TWO LOVELY TUNES PLAYED BY A REALLY GOOD BAND.AS THE MEMORY CARD STILL HAD SPACE I ADDED THE TWO REPLAYS AT THE END OF MY FAVOURITE BITS!I RATHER THINK THIS COULD BE LEW STONES BAND.SAM BROWN DOES THE VOCALS

The speculation is at end!. Lew Stone directed this session in May / June 1932.

I was right to begin with!

LEW STONE directed the Roy Fox band while Fox himself was ill.This is why it was concidered to be the durium dance band.LEW STONE took over Roy Fox,s band all but Sid Buckman remained,on OCT 1932.Directing a band and having a band is two different thing,s.ROY FOX,s band released LOVABLE on decca may 4 1932.I hope this help,s ,Rob.

Many thanks for the explanation Rob.That Roy Fox version is EXCELLANT with Al Bowlley vocals and such a good bit after the vocals when the full band plays the tune.

[mic33george]

This could be Arthur Lallies band as well as possibly Lew Stones.

Durium was the "boss sound" before they knew what it was! Consistantly sensational! Carol

[roybo1930]

[85scampi]

These Duriums ARE something quite special BIG names, BIG hits.....I'm playing it again!.

[robgems2]

You were right Lew Stone,he was a very busy

chap,Musical director for British and Dominion films at Elstree studio,s as well at the time.This is a lovely record,mine don,t play as well.

Foolish over you is a rather nice unusual tune...

[laughland]

I think it is Arthur Lally... Nice clip!
