The war hadn't yet started - and we were so young - so naive - so in love. We explored cities like archeologists in search of undiscovered wonders, staying up late - dancing until you said your feet were too tied to stand - drank Champagne for breakfast, sitting sidewalk at street cafes with other all-nighters, feeding cats that had waited patiently for friendly hand-outs. You were so beautiful that older men, upon seeing you wept, perhaps remembering their lost youth. You smiled at them, and waved - and once you stood and kissed a white-haired gentleman wearing a tux on the cheek, brushing away his tears, saying, "Never forget the past - it's just time reminding you of all those wonderful moments that are yours forever!" Having their morning coffee, but overhearing what you said, some ladies stood and applauded. From inside the cafe we heard the voice of Jessie Matthews singing 'Look For The Silver Lining'. Just then, an elderly waiter appeared and gave us two fresh-out- of-the-oven croissants to enjoy with our Champagne. The radio inside began playing Hutch Cole singing 'Let's fall in love.' We had, and couldn't stop looking into each others eyes...but that was so long ago...and I'm sure I've left out the best parts...but I'll never forget...and because of you...Past Perfect...maybe the music will always be there...Thank you for the memories.

My dad’s parents met in the early 1930’s. My Poppa Roc would every once in awhile sing “It’s Only A Paper Moon to my Nanny Rose. I thought, even as a little girl, it was the sweetest and most romantic thing I ever heard. They’re long gone but on the rare occasion I hear that song, I think of them and their enduring love.

Mom in her twenties sitting on a deck on a pile of luggage off on her way from London to Canada.."Black and White" "Brownie Box" pic. Picture perfect, soo elegant, hands crossed on her knees..knees crossed over high heels, slight see through crocheted veil dropping over the brim of her hat neatly adorned with flowers. Soft confident smile, absolutely brave adventures unknown ahead for her back in those days. Years before I was ever thought of. I'll be there with her one day soon. The utterly vibrant twenties and thirties, a brief respite from the dreadful years just past and the unthinkable Armageddon waiting for her generation in the wings. Edouard

I'm now in my 50's... Born in late 60's... So obviously I wasn't in "that" Era... But some how... Hearing this music takes me to a Beautiful place of Nostalgia that I've never been to... Happy Smile on my face... Yes! When I was a kid I did see many a times my Mom and Dad Fox-trot, Waltz and Jive to these songs... We had a 6 recond(vinyls) changer (mono ofcourse) (HMV) with a whole lota records 33's, 78's and 45's... Beautiful Day!!!! Was lovely to see all the old timers dancing to these song...

I just discovered this music by accident. I who have always loved this period of 1920, 30, 40 and... the Middle Ages. I am delighted to listen and let myself be carried away by these interpretations. I let myself go to my sewing and embroidery and my thoughts fly to this beautiful era of the Roaring Twenties, these "art deco" decorations, this time when there were values ​​and respect for the well done, Thank you for us make these works available.

[@robertcohn8858]

These beautiful renditions presented a fantasy about the way life could have been. Even though I'm too young to have lived during the 30's and 40's, I have always enjoyed this musical genre and very much appreciate Past Perfect for making these available. Thank you.

"I travel alone" fits my current situation to a tee! "The happiness I've known alone." Life is so much better without companions! Life alone is so underrated! I love being on my own without having to deal with, or having to put up with, others! It truly is bliss! I've been traveling for 3 years on the road alone! Like a reverie! It is perfect! Great music, btw!

Listen carefully as Noel Coward changes Johnny Mercer's lyrics to "Im Old Fashioned" at 00:42:22 to "I love cheap music, a reference to Noel's dialogue from "Private Lives.'" (“Extraordinary how potent cheap music is.”) . The original Mercer lyrics are "starry song that April sings."

I've been going through the various albums you have here and it's something I've been looking for for ages and never found until now. Just the feeling and atmosphere of the 20s and 30s and even 40s, even though the forties was halted by the war. It's marvellous and I don't know how to thank you enough. I wondered if it was only me who loved this era and the music which represents it so well. I'm working my way through the whole lot. Is there existing a line of cds etc., that you sell through commercial outlets, under the ame of Past Perfect that I can ask for? Or is this your main outlet?

I like the ones that are jazz oriented. Especially "And so do I" by Elizabeth Welch and "I wished on the moon", by Ruth Etting. It is not nostalgia with me - not that there's anything wrong with it - it's just the music. It's good music. I love hearing songs I've never heard before done by people I've heard of, also songs I've heard done by people I've never heard of. One Past Perfect album has "Deep in a Dream" with Greta Keller. In all these years I have heard only one version of that song. By Chet Baker. I even developed a liking for Hutch. He sings some songs I have never heard before, and I've heard my share. I enjoy these compilations and again thank you for putting them together with thoughtfulness.

[@PastPerfectVintageMusic]

It's honestly taken over one million pounds of investment in time spent by the best sound engineers and equipment, to produce the Past Perfect collection of albums ... along with the maniacal drive and perfectionism of our MD and engineers!

I completely fail to understand why typical 'pop' music is in some way considered to be better musically than the songs of Porter, Gershwin, and the like. ? The songs of the 30's and 40's consisted of chord sequences that made them far more interesting than typical pop songs. Surely the ability to play complicated chord sequences, is far more to be admired and enjoyed than the 3 chord rubbish of typical pop songs. !!
