the motor in that player sounds the same like in my 1972 blue ge stereo record player except your player is a little older than mine.

I bought another player kind of like this like a year ago for my (ex-)girlfriend. now I guess I wished I'd kept it. it was newer than this one, I think.

[mrtraxxas]

wow thats old and outdated

[z0mz0m]

which means it's good

[jtm113]

My guess is this was recorded in the late 40'. Ken Griffin recorded for Columbia in the 50's and died in 1956

[z0mz0m]

ah, I wasn't looking hard enough.

the front side was the song You Can't Be True, Dear which was apparently popular. according to internet, it was released in 1948.

@fromthesidelines Interesting. Thanks for posting. Ken Griffin playing his organ (heh) made a LOT of money. Stations would have an "Organ Time" for 15 minutes.

Wow! Youtube has it! That was on the weekly radio show "Your Hit Parade" as a hit song! Late 40s were a great time to be alive and well! Funky stuff like this had a place and made money. :)

Eli Oberstein, a somewhat unscrupulous record executve, acquired the Rondo catalogue in 1951 (along with several other defunct labels), and began issuing them on "bargain" LP's, with labels like Royale, Varsity, Allegro, Gramophone, Concertone, Halo...and reactivating the Rondo label as well, although Ken's original Rondo recordings were eventually reissued on some of his other labels throughout the '50s.

[fromthesidelines]

Actually, this was originally recorded in 1947, just before the American Federation of Musicians pulled another strike on the recording industry, their union members staying out of the studios until early 1949. There were TWO versions of this- the first was an instrumental. The second, like "You Can't Be True, Dear", was reissued in 1948 with Jerry Wayne's vocal dubbed over it (to get around the AFM strike). By 1949, Rondo suspended operations, and Griffin [and Wayne] moved to Columbia Records
