[@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...

[@trevorfleisig9056]

Just beautiful music as it should be played

[@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!

[@saif009972]

Nice song. I wish I could remember my time in 1931!!!

[@roybo1930]

Another AWESOME selection! Your making a fella very happy indeed!

[@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.

[@EMFwatch]

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

[@richardmoon1852]

My neighbor was playing hip hop. What garbage. This is real music. I love this music.

[@dick12235]

Thanks again: Always a treat.

[@richardmoon1852]

Thanks again

[@deborahspeller3296]

lovely

[@JozefSterkens]

fine quality!!!!!!

[@gordonharkerfan]

Must find this version only have Ambrose on 78rpm and the the Blue Lyers version too this is the best one.

[@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.

[@richardmoon1852]

Thanks again.

[@dick12235]

Brain needed this again: Thanks.

[@Panachord]

Wonderful band!

[@harryknackers7892]

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

[@dick12235]

Thanks: MY Brain needed this.

[@casparpolitman]

[@dick12235]

Brain requested this again: Thanks.

[@richardmoon1852]

Great

[@ceciliabrown2798]

hi TREVOR lovely music from your Dear wife

[@TousavecNintendo]

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

[@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.

[@wa1ufo]

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

[@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!

[@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"?

[@tm6888]

Is this music in the public domain?

[@Panachord]

Anything over 70 years old is in the public domain.

[@alexmckenna1171]

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

[@Panachord]

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

[@xiniapoas]

[@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]

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

[@jourwalis-8875]

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

[@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.
