LISTSERV 16.0 - ARSCLIST Archives

Hi Mickey-I also have not seen anything from the List today. I am listening
as we speak. As you note, there seems to be some rumble at the beginning of
several of the cuts from Vol 2, which fades fairly quickly.. I note this in
Palesteena, which is the one I am listening to at the moment. After the
beginning it's quite nice. Two that I notice that have no rumble are Just
Like The Rose/Freckles and Venetian Moon. Am now listening to Humming-very
nice after the start. Amazing nice sound for early acoustical. I'm afraid I
may have to get the rest of the set. Most of my Diamond Disks are
classical. I will try to catalog what I have this summer. Perhaps there is
something on my list that you might like to add to your catalog.

>>> > An electrically recorded Edison !!!!! The odd thing is that the first
>>> electrically recorded Edison I acquired was a cylinder - "Me and the Man
>>> In
>>> The Moon" by Vaughn De Leath and recorded in January 1929. It had to be
>>> one
>>> of the last cylinders - alas destroyed in the fire at my shop. My Edison
>>> Diamond Discs were stored near the ceiling and although the sleeves were
>>> burning, the Diamond Discs were unscathed. The composition of Edisons was
>>> phenolic - which has a much higher melting point than shellac. The
>>> lateral
>>> "Needle Type" records didn't fare so well but I retrieved the sound from
>>> them nevertheless. The "Needle Type" Edisons are the most hard to find.
>>> The
>>> last 6 tracks are all Needle Type electrics. Thomas Edison resisted
>>> electrical recording until long after all other labels had upgraded -
>>> aside
>>> form the buget columbia series issued on Harmony, Diva, Velvet Tone etc.
>>> It
>>> is said that because of his deafness, his personal phonograph has his
>>> teeth
>>> marks in it because he clenched his teeth on the cabinet to hear it. He
>>> disliked bass because of his hearing issues. Jazz pianist Oreste
>>> Migliaccio
>>> was born in Naples, Italy in 1882 and moved to the U.S. in 1902. He first
>>> started composing in 1908, with the "Gatling Gun Rag." By 1910, he was
>>> working as a musician, directing a band at the "Peek Inn" by the early
>>> twenties. By 1926, Oreste and his Queensland Orchestra graced the stage
>>> of
>>> the Queensland Ballroom in New York . Personnel: Frank McNellis-Tom
>>> Kells-Irving Peskin-t/ Jack King-tb/ Don Murray-Jimmy Dorsey-cl/ Hal
>>> Stumkoff-ts/ Ralph Esposito-bj/ Joe Tarto-bb Known vocalists with this
>>> band
>>> were Vic Hall and Ken Christie. It is said that Red Nichols-c also played
>>> with his band but is not confirmed. Ralph Esposito's first instument was
>>> the violin, and it seems that he was fairly accomplished as he played
>>> "The
>>> Flight Of The Bumble Bee", but his solo in Hello Swanee Hello got my
>>> attention, and the solos throughout the arrangement are first class to my
>>> mind.
