Without doubt this is the finest recording of this World War One song.

Your gramaphone sounds GREAT! I have a 1915 Sonora leather-cased portable that plays really well, it's fun to listen to these vintage 78's on them! Thanks for posting,one of my favorite John McCormack songs!

The Victor record I have is number 17639 with a black label with the American Quartet. 9/15/1914 is the date from ucsb.edu. Plays good on the Silvertone Portola crank windup my mother gave to me. Billy Murray (vocalist: tenor vocal) ucsb.edu lists the American Quartet members as:

Steve Porter (vocalist: baritone vocal)

Robert D. Armour (vocalist: tenor vocal)

William F. Hooley (vocalist: bass vocal)

Where did you find such a lovely item?

And will that sort of machine play records made in the 60's onwards?

Try as I might, I can't come up with words to describe the effect of listening to John McCormack's awesome voice. Josh Groban is the only living vocalist whose voice has the same effect on me. We can only imagine how McCormack would have sounded with modern recording techniques. And how doesn't he have a knighthood?

Music hall.

What genre of music is this? I'm sort of interested in it.

thanks for posting this song. I remember seeing him in Nyc when i was a kid back in the i930's, go dhow the years flew. He still is one of the greatest singers this world has known. I consider myself fortunate to havwe heard so many great singers in person.
