My first time using boxnet, I hope it works
I got this record with a Brunswick machine I picked up this week. The record is in poor shape, so the recording isn't very good. It's on the Van Dyke label, not sure If I ever heard that name before, or saw the label for that matter, but I though it was pretty cool. Ive attached a photo of the label. The song itself is way cool! Does anyone have any information about the record and the band? Id like to find more of this

Lets see if this works

Re: The Man From The South
Nice label! Thanks for posting that.
The recording was a Grey Gull issue, catalog number 1845, and VanDyke was one of many labels that used Grey Gull masters. It was recorded on March of 1930. The reference for it is on the page linked below:
http://78discography.com/GG1500.htm
The matrix number, 3910, is the same as was used on the Grey Gull pressing. There's others on this forum who know the Grey Gull line better than I do (Frederick? Are you there?), so I'll let them maybe take a guess as to who is playing on this disc.
MorDeth, take note: there needs to be an example of VanDyke in the Label gallery...

Here I am!
Nice Greu Gull side that I've never heard before. It's not listed under the heading "Grey Gull studio band" in Rust's dance band discography, but that list is highly incomplete anyhow. Aurally however I'd say that it misses some of the typical trade marks of the studio band (no accordion, no xylophone) though the trumpet player might well be Mike Mosiello. The presence of the harmonica and the scat singing makes me think that this might be a Fred Hall group (and Mosiello played with that band as well) which were also quite frequent on Grey Gull.

Re: The Man From The South
Thanks John and thanks Fredrik for the great info on the band. It is a great tune, and now one of my favorites. I really enjoy this type of music and may have to go back and try and clean up the recording a bit more. A good winter projectNeophone wrote:Victor78,

Re: The Man From The South
Thats a great recording too! Good job cleaning it up as well. I'll have to keep my eyes open (record wise) for different versions. That is, unless they were all recycled for new records like the video Thanks again for posting!
