The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I recently cleaned up a version of this great song by the Green Brothers' Novelty Orchestra. You can hear it (and many other songs) as # 75 on my podcasts: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1449838

Thanks for sharing it. I once had that record but sold it along with the phonograph. However, I do have the song on a Victor record.

EdiBurnsVic,

You are welcome. With the longer playing time of the Diamond Disc records, they will often have additional lyrics or extra music verses the same song/artist on a Victor record.
By the way, a good example of this is my Podcast # 31 that has many extra words to the basic "Banana" song.

I have a few variants of that classic, and also one of my favorites: "I've Got the 'Yes, We Have No Bananas Blues' Today".

I've got that on Silvertone label sung by Ernest Hare, it's a great tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57EIqZztBY8

I've got the Green Brothers original on DD somewhere

I've got the Edison BA by the Green Bros. It was one of the first cylinders I ever bought.

I should have my Edison DD player play the Green Bros. "Yes, We Have No Bananas" whilst playing Belle Baker's "I've Got The Yes! We Have No Banana Blues" on my Victor 400 simultaneously facing each other. THAT would be a fun video
