  • I have a Paul Whiteman Columbia disk of later pressing. It was thrown from a building being demolished or renovated, from the 2nd or 3rd floor window by the bash in it ! Columbia made their records reinforced since (I dunno). Any other make would have been totaled.

    As it is, one side plays "Whatdya Say?" and the other "I'm riding on the crest of a wave". Both labels show Whiteman's jolly and confident face in cartoon.

  • @eproxyvid Well said! I'd take my hat off to you!

  • @xsanchezx04 You'll be better off getting a more modern record player that has a 78 RPM speed setting. These old phonographs are known to destroy vintage records.

  • The voice resembles Helen Cane (Betty Boop). After playing it over again, this is what I can discern: "You tell me your (sounds like re or dreams)-Now-Now or may I ask you." If you didn't hear it while recoring, that makes it all a bit creepy:-)

  • @Danasluce

    How wonderful that you were made aware that your grandfather lives on into the technology of the 21st century. How very special!

  • This song is slightly disturbing, its eerie tune bring back memories of a lost time.

  • hey, anybody kno where i can buy a phonograph dat doesnt cost much?

  • That's so different from the disco version I remember from the '70s. It probably evolved through many versions in the ensuing 5 decades.

  • they have this on itunes

  • ROFL - The irony!!!
