The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

The boxes of records I recently received abound with strange and unusual things.

Here is a Japanese Victor record with Tommy Dorsey on one side and Charlie Barnett on the other. And of course, being a Japanese pressing, it has excellent sound. Actually, it sounds truly great: I don't think it has been played very much at all.

I had once a Japanese edition of Victor 22294 Maurice Chevalier You've got that thing/Paris stay the same, with an ugly half moon bite taken out of it spoiling the beginning of the songs. Was exactly similar to the US edition, but only the company credits below said Victor Co of Japan. The typeface in the song credits was also different from the usual... It had no Japanese texts anywhere on the labels, though...
