"What is the average number of grooves on each side of a record?" One! But this record is an exception, each side has three (3) grooves that start at the outside edge and play different songs. It was recorded in England by an HMV house band directed by Ray Noble, vocals by Al Bowlly.
Side 1 was recorded at Small Queen's Hall, London on Feb. 19, 1931 and consists of "The King's Horses", "Okay Baby", and "Wedding Bells Are Ringing For Sally".
Side 2 at Hayes, Middlesex on March 9th, 1931 and has "Bye Bye Blues", "You're Driving Me Crazy", and "Sweet Jennie Lee".
Each song is about 1 minute long.
I've heard rumors that a record like this existed but it seemed to far fetched to be real, but here it is! Each side has 3 songs recorded, not one after the other, but right beside each other! There are 3 grooves on each side and the song you get depends on which groove you start in. Each song is about 1 minute long. Pretty fantastic!
Haven't seen one of these until now. I think they are pretty rare. This was released by Victor records in 1931, the middle of the Great Depression. Probably not a lot were actually sold.
The Novelty Orchestra shown on the label is actually Ray Noble's orchestra.
Now just enjoy this amazing record! Both sides are shown in this video.
