Benny Goodman Test Pressing - UK Take 1

Post by CDBPDX »

Just brought home a bunch of 78s and found this Columbia test pressing of Benny Goodman's THE MAN I LOVE with Helen Forrest singing. It is Take 1 which is different from the Take 2 USA release on Columbia 55038. Apparently, though, this Take 1 was released in the UK on the Parlophone label.

Here is a short comparison between the two versions, the first is take 1, the second take 2.

Pretty cool!

Found some more cool records in this group. There are about 100 different Duke Ellington records.

Here are a couple vinyl 78 rpm records on the LUCKY label released in 1981 featuring some rejected recordings from 1933 by Joe Venuti and Friends with the Dorsey Brothers, Manny Klein, and others. Apparently, they had been drinking heavily...

You can hear these on YouTube:
