Played on my Radiola 47 (dating to 1929), here are Ace Brigode and His 14 Virginians in "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" (Columbia 398-D), recorded on 6/2/25, one of the first electric recordings in the Columbia catalog.

Thanks for posting Adam. That's one of my favorite 1920s dance tunes. I like this rendition except for the vocal refrain which sounded a bit like they were shouting rather than singing.
Your Radiola 47 sounds and looks great too!

This is a wonderful rendition, Adam! I won't comment on the the flip side.

One reason the vocalists seem to be shouting could be that they weren't yet acclimated to the new electric recording system & its more sensitive microphone(probably a WE carbon mike then). And so they continued their "big" voice projection as they would've done into an acoustic recording horn-or an unamplified vaudeville theater of the era.
