Victors of that period sound so much better than equivalent HMV pressings. Far less surface noise (the notorious HMV cotton flock caused a cracquele effect, sounding like frying bacon) even on well-worn records. German Electrola, part of the same family, made laminated records (like American and British Columbia) and are near silent too.
@Prozoot : No yawns from this "Victor Freak"! Have been trying to acquire Coon-Sanders' only V-38K issue for years and here you've posted one side of it...along with an unissued tune! What take of BVE 57498 is this? Discographical data, PUH-LEEZE! Thanks so much for posting.
Wow, what a great luck to find it! Before I only heard Benny Meroff's instrumental version and loved it a lot. It's just awesome to find another version, especially with vocal! Thank you! "Ain't you Baby" was a nice bonus ;)
I want the lyrics for this song, but can't find them anywhere =(

Is that Joe Sanders singing at the end? It sure sounds like him!

Great tuba work which was a hallmark of these great old bands. Glad younger
people are discovering this tuneful music all over again. I've loved it since
listening to my Dad's 1920's-30s records back in the 1940s. No faking it here
with synths or overdubs. These guys were MUSICIANS!

"Leaving the smiling skies" was probably a code for the traders to slowly sell the stocks on the stockmarket.
