Stomp Six (featuring Muggsy Spanier) - Everybody Loves My Baby (1925)

"Everybody Loves My Baby (But My Baby Don't Love Nobody But Me)" recorded by the Stomp Six, circa July 1925. Originally released on Autograph 626. Muggsy Spanier (cnt); Guy Carey (tbn); Volly de Faut (cl); Mel Stitzel (p); Joe Gish (tu); Ben Pollack (d).

In the March 15, 1944 issue of Downbeat, columnist George Hoefer Jr. notes a remarkable story - Muggsy Spanier walked into the Session Record Shop while a copy of Autograph 626 was on the turntable. Spanier promptly gave Session owner Phil Featheringill the date and personnel for the recording (though he added Marvin Saxbe on guitar, couldn't remember Joe Gish's last name, and put the date in 1924). Featheringill included this record in his series of classic jazz reissues.

Autograph Records, which originally recorded these sides, was a Chicago-based record company owned by Orlando Marsh, an electrical engineer who patented a number of devices related to electrical recording. He also developed his own rather primitive electric recording system, which he used for his own recordings as early as 1923. Marsh's system is heard on this recording. Autograph Records went out of business around 1926 or 1927.

Mike, did you play this on your Victrola?

@mmay519 - No I didn't play this on the Victrola. This is a direct transfer, cleaned up with Sound Forge Noise Reduction. The sound quality is poor due to the fact that it is a very early electrical recording made by Orlando Marsh, who operated the Autograph recording studios in Chicago. Marsh probably made the first electrical recordings that were commercially released. Unfortunately his process was primitive and the sound quality was pretty bad.

Probably should have cleared this up in my description - this is a dub of the original record (Autograph 626) that was released in 1944 by the Session Record Shop. It's a vinyl record so it can only be played back on a modern turntable with a diamond or sapphire stylus and a relatively light tone arm.

I never knew Muggsy was in a group called the Stomp Six.
