Jack Hylton and his Orchestra "Choo Choo" 1931 - synchronised soundtrack from HMV issue

Edited footage of the Jack Hylton band recording "Choo Choo" for His Master's Voice at the HMV studio in Small Queen's Hall on 3 February 1931. This soundtrack has the version of the tune which was issued on HMV B 5973 (visible at the beginning). Also uploaded is the same film with the original soundtrack - which had a much inferior sound quality.

My grandfather Clem Lawton on the sousaphone. Thanks so much for this film Harry.

@TheAndrewlawton I'm a sousaphone player myself - and much admire Clem; he was one of the best. Thanks for reacting!

You do not understand. The film came with an original soundtrack. I uploaded that version. But I also synchronised the film with the sound of the HMV record issue. That is THIS version.

when pathe filmed it, im wondering if that was the final take that was issued?

i'm just comparing both takes from the film sound track and the one that is issued

That's Leslie Sarony yelling his head off at the start. He was also a character actor who appeared in The Sweeney in the 1970s.
