Turtle Talk:
Try as he might, Turtle was unable to completely remove a stubborn "surface" noise from this recording.
This is a FUN recording. It may remind you of a junior high school band concert. Band members surely had lots of fun making this recording. In recent vernacular, it is a HOOT! A label entry suggests it is "Humorous Charicteristic." It makes Turtle smile and cry at the same time....
On the "flip side" of Path
é 29127 is "The Nightingale And the Frogs" by the American Regimental Band. This recording demonstrates that the American Regimental Band is a capable ensemble. Turtle obtained the record because of the title "Nightingale ...Frogs." Perhaps this side too will make the Jukebox...?Tech Tidbits:
This tranfer was made from a 12-inch Path
é disc. Like the Edison Diamond Disc, this Pathé disc is a vertical cut recording. 29217B was transferred using a 4.0 mil conical stylus in a Stanton 500 cartridge at 78 rpm. 80 rpm may be a more appropriate speed.
