The Golden Gate Orchestra on Velvet Tone 2183-V (1930).

Jim,

I find that all the acoustic Harmony/Diva/Velvetone records (1925 to 1930) have a strange boxed-in sound that is very different from the pre-1925 acoustic sound. And I have no idea why this is the case.

Thanks for posting them!!!

Rocky, I actually think that they do sound fabulous for acoustic recordings. They have a certain smoothness that I generally find very charming.

I tweaked them a bit further, thinking I could get a better sound from them.

'Rollin' down the river'

'There's a wah-wah gal in Agua Caliente'

I hope you agree!
