"Day By Day...." Sam Browne with Ambrose & his Orchestra (1932)

Please activate the HD function(720p) before watching the video or watch it with a larger type player (in 480p).

The Ambrose band returns with the classic "Day By Day", another superb recording from their "HMV" period....

One of the greatest and most beloved London orchestras of the late 1920s through the 1940s was without doubt (Bert) Ambrose's band whose 78rpms are still found in great quantity in Belgium today . Born in the east of London in 1896, Ambrose started his career in the USA before returning to London in 1922 when he was asked to play at the Embassy Club... His band soon became known for its elegant sound and superb arrangements. Vocalists with the band included Sam Browne, Kitty Carlisle, Evelyn Dall and most famously Vera Lynn.... He played not only at the Embassy Club but also at the May Fair Hotel (and seemed to alternate between these two venues) and recorded many sides for Brunswick, HMV and Decca... He retired from performing in 1940 but continued to make recordings.... Later on he decided to perform again but he suffered considerably from the demise of the big band era. He died in 1971.

Irgendwie habe ich jetzt Lust auf einen 5 O´Clock tea..... ist wohl noch zu früh ;)

[Leotaurus1975]

@formiggini Ja, die Eleganz dieses Orchesters ist wirklich herrlich... Diese HMV-Platten sowie die Decca M-Series Platten gehören zu den gesuchtesten Ambrose-Schellacks.... Leider habe ich nur einige dieser Platten....

[formiggini]

@Leotaurus1975 Ich hab schon öfter gelesen (und auch gehört :), das englische HMV Pressungen aufgrund des englischen, feuchten Wetters knistern wie im Kamin. Das feuchte Wetter greift wohl die Schellack Oberfläche an - dein Exemplar hört sich aber perfekt an !

[Leotaurus1975]

@formiggini Das stimmt, dies Platte hat diesen Mangel auch, sei es im begrenzten Masse.... Ich habe zB. Marek Weber Platten auf HMV und Electrola... Der qualitative Unterschied ist erstaunlich ! Pressungen aus Singapore, Indien und Australien sind angeblich viel besser als die englischen....

[MrGoto7734]

Day by day my dreams are coming true, day by day, each time I listen to you! Love, love, love Sam Browne.

Beautiful dance band, recording, arrangement, singing, playing, atmosphere....

Thank you very much for posting!

[GrammophonPlatten]

Wunderbar, danke

[Deutschlandsender]

Eine herrliche Platte. Vielen Dank.

Merveilleuse musique et vidéo superbe ! Merci !

[formiggini]

@Leotaurus1975 Wobei es wirklich an der dortigen Lagerung liegen muss. Prinzipiell verwendete HMV wohl eine sehr gute, ruhige Zusammensetzung.

Ich hab schon von einigen Sammlern gehört die gerade deswegen englische Pressungen für Neuveröffentlichungen auf LP oder CD suchen, gerade weil sie so ruhig sind - ABER, bitte kein Exemplar das 80 Jahre in England lag..... :)

J'adore la partie instrumentale à partir de 2:30

Encore une merveille que tu nous fais découvrir. Merci!
