Recorded December 7, 1933 in London, here is the great Al Bowlly crooning "My Song Goes Round the World", accompanied by Ray Noble and His Orchestra, on Victor 24555. I am playing it on my HMV 101 portable gramophone, outfitted in blue rexine, and dating from about 1929. It sports an HMV No. 4 sound box.

  • im trying to find that song that keeps going around the world aroun the world for like 3 mins and this is what shows up when i type it in WTF

  • @ThatFamousDogNipper That is a rug, dude.

  • That little portable sounds pretty good.I just uploaded the same tune off my $20 school player into the computer.Thanks,it sounded great.

  • Thanks for that, since posting I have managed to get quite a few Al Bowley records on ebay I was suprised on how high the bidding was on some titles! Ive also just had my HMV model 145 serviced sounds great now the clunking of the spring winding down has gone!

    I have been told to watch out for Durium records as they are supposed to be good is that right?

  • The 78s are not that hard to get. You have to look for any records with Ray Noble and his Orchestra with vocals. Chances are it'll be Al Bowlly himself on vocals. Sometimes this is noted on the label, sometimes not.

  • Beautiful gramophone. Terrible carpet ;-)

  • Al Bowley is my favourite voice of this era -I have all his records on disc but id love to get hold of the 78s for my HMV 145 wind up!

  • I've got a blue 101 and they are fantastic. The sound that these beauts put out is amazing.

  • I love this Bowlly track. Very sentimental.
