What a treasure trove of fabulous tunes!!! Whistling in the Dark is my favorite Dana Suesse song .... many thanks for the good music!

[@jourwalis-8875]

"Whistling in the Dark" always reminds me of Peter Bowles superb performance in the court room in "Pennies from Heaven". The best BBC series ever!

Thanks Panachord for letting me hear what was going on in my birth year. - John Austin, Australia

[@paullindemeyer3913]

Huzzah! Best quality Payne presentation online. Most KZbinrs fail to capture the deep sonority of the band. Here you've done it to perfection! Thanks...

[@EMFwatch]

Thankyou! This takes me back.... to a former lifetime.

[@Panachord]

1931 was a wonderful year for popular music and there are plenty more examples on my channel. Delighted that you have found this of interest.

[@bonniebelmondo381]

WUNNN-DERRR-FUUUL 👍

[@janettewalker3991]

Wonderful!

[@bhsisthebest]

A very good sound transfer, sounds great, thank you!

[@dick12235]

Thanks again for this Wonderful Posting.

[@syncopeter]

Both versions of Moonlight Saving Time I know, this one and the Ambrose version are magnificent. I love that superb warm sound of the early 30s, which both HMV and Columbia had. Sound wise they are unsurpassible even today. By 1930 the recording equipment, from microphone to cutting table and everything in between had been honed into near perfection. The big problem was the reproducing. There was simply no gramophone that was able to reproduce faithfully without wearing down a disc in one play.

[@dick12235]

Thanks again for these Treats.

"The Songs Bonzo Doo Dah Band Taught Us"? These are the best records - the ones we should be searching for.

[@casparpolitman]

thank you panachord,i love your channel

[@dick12235]

Brain requested this again: Thanks.

[@richardmoon1852]

Great

[@wa1ufo]

Great-Jack Payne had the best version of this band in my opinion.

[@1mctous]

The HMV 102 gramophone made its debut in 1931, combining the best acoustic technology available in its day. The sound-box was a modified Orthophonic, far gentler on records than mica diaphragms.

[@ceciliabrown2798]

hi TREVOR lovely music from your Dear wife

[@Panachord]

Apart from here, I don't know. It has never been reissued as far as I'm aware.

[@jourwalis-8875]

Why does it always read "with Vocal chorus", when there is only one person singing? Shouldn´t it be better with "vocal refrain"?

[@TousavecNintendo]

Where can I find this version of "Whitsling in the dark"?

[@JasonJason210]

Nice recording. Any chance you can give us "Radio Nights"?

[@Panachord]

Unfortunately I don't have that record. I understand it is fairly rare!

[@peteratkinson922]

How many of these were Ray Noble arrangements? He was on the staff at this time, I hear tell.

[@Panachord]

None. Yes, Ray did arrange for Jack Payne, but it was before he became the Light Music Director at HMV.

[@jourwalis-8875]

I don´t understand what they mean by "Moonlight Saving Time"......

[@alexmckenna1171]

If only Jack had gone to Piccadilly or Edison Bell instead of Imperial after leaving Columbia...

[@tm6888]

Is this music in the public domain?

[@Panachord]

Anything over 70 years old is in the public domain.

[@Panachord]

@eh44 I believe Jack Jackson is responsible for the great trumpet work.

[@jourwalis-8875]

This version of "Whistling In The Dark" is not the same as used in "Pennies From Heaven".

[@jourwalis-8875]

Jack Payne is quite a good vocalist. Not bad at all!

[@mdmphd]

Quite fantastic. I'm using this to decompress from the US election.
