RCA Victor Puzzle Record 1931 (originally on HMV in the UK)

Post by melvind »

I thought this might be interesting to some of you. I have had this record for years but kind of forgot I had it. It turns out to be a very clean copy even though the label on Side A is a bit light. The video plays all six 1 minute songs from both sides of the record. Maybe not as fun as the randomness of finding the grooves on a phonograph, but still pretty fun stuff. Some nice music and a few titles I've never heard of before. There is more information in the information section for the video on YouTube if you are interested (https://youtu.be/M9jSPs72zzc).

An odd thing about this record is that there is no DAHR page for it. I am surprised and bewildered by that since they have covered all the recordings of that era, even the foreign ones.

(Double-click the video above or click this link to watch the video on YouTube in HD.)

This has long been one of my favorite discs! I'm so glad you uploaded such a a well preserved example. Mine was quite worn, and it broke soon after I made a recording with my Western Electric 4a Pickup. I'll post a link just for comparison- Your's shows a life I never knew existed in the recording- Thank you!

(side note: I know my videos that I upload are boring, have occasional typos, or lack quality- but I upload them for me, I just think its neat to be able to access my very own recordings, played on my equipment from an app anywhere I go)
