I'd make you a copy of anything you'd like, save I own the title...

Name something you'd like a copy of, and I'll check my records.

I would like to see a copy of ....... Puttin on the Ritz

Which performance?

Brunswick 4677 by Harry Richman [YouTube]https://youtu.be/LNd8tlTO-6M[/YouTube]

or the Spitalny Orchestra waxing (on Diva known as "Hotel Pennsylvania Music") [YouTube]https://youtu.be/seB5BYvkMXk[/YouTube]

Or Willie Creagar's Orchestra (appearing as "The Clevelanders" on Brunswick, Imperial and Oriole:
[YouTube]https://youtu.be/seB5BYvkMXk[/YouTube]

If you need I can probably dig up a transfer of each of these for copying.

By the way, there are also good recordings of this number by Earl Burnett and His Los Angeles Biltmore Orchestra (more of an easy swing than the New York waxings), Leo Reisman (quote a tempo!), Carl Webster's Yale Collegians (Great hot Collegiat band playing a unique blues influenced arrangement with some tasty wailing trumpet and a great vocal chorus by Stu Pletcher), the rather strange Julian Fuhs waxing for German Electrola (with a vocal by "The Three Admirals" most famous for singing with Lotte Lenja on her first recording of the "Alabama Song"), or perhaps the great Jan Garber arrangement found on Columbia 2115D.

I, too, on "Ritz".

Thank you. But if he can copy records from hardware store silicone and broken thrift store records then I want one too! (And to nominate him for the Macgyver award ).

Would it be possible to make a fill in piece for a 78 that has a bite out of it? edisonplayer PS:I recently won a Merrit record in a record auction that has a large bite out.

So that the record could be put in a frame and look presentable? Yes.
So that it would actually be playable? The transition would be noisy and after a few plays the filler piece may work loose.

I just PPed you 25.00 f&f for The Charleston.
Thanks.
