1933 BING CROSBY RADIO TRANSCRIPTIONS
sings 2 #S THANKS & BUCKING THE WIND
made to promote the film "TO MUCH HARMONY"
ON PARAMOUNT ON THE AIR
Dead wax matrix # 68537
CONDITION: VG+ or better. Very clean only a few almost invisible surface marks. There is background hiss but always well below music. I was informed that my cheap modern Crosley player is the reason there is background sound & that better equipment with the appropriate needle size would eliminate much of the background sound.
This is a thick one sided disc. The back has VICTOR embossed in big letters.
This is a promotional transcription used for radio & most likely "in theatre play" for promotion of the movie 'TOO MUCH HARMONY" it came from the personal library of Nat Finston who was the Orchestra conductor on & general Music Director for films from Paramount & MGM between 1928 & 1945. It is from the Estate of his daughter Beatrix Padway .
WHATS ON THIS DISC: IT STARTS WITH A FAN FARE. THE ANNOUNCER THEN SAYS- "PARAMOUNT IS ON THE AIR. THIS TIME BRINGING YOU THE SONGS OF THE GREATEST ENTERTAINERS OF RADIO & SCREEN & A CHAP THAT WAS BORN WITH A SILVER CROON IN HIS MOUTH. YES YOU GUESSED IT, BING CROSBY. YOU ENJOYED BING'S PERFORMANCE IN COLLEGE HEAVEN. YOU'LL SEE HIM NEXT IN THE MUSICAL COMEDY ROMANCE, TOO MUCH HARMONY.
YOU ALL REMEMBER BING'S FAMOUS SONG HIT PLEASE. WELL IN HIS NEW PICTURE HE CERTAINLY GOT WHAT HE ASKED FOR. THE TITLE OF HIS NEW NUMBERS IS THANKS. HERE IS BING SINGING THE SONG."
HE SINGS THANKS
THE ANNOUNCER COMES BACK - "HERE IS ONE OF THE NUMBERS THE CHORUS DOES SOME FAST STEPPING TO IN TOO MUCH HARMONY WITH BING CROSBY'S VOICE TO HELP THEM ALONG. ITS CALLED BUCKING THE WIND. A COMPOSITION OF ARTHUR JOHNSON & SAM COSLOW & BING IS ACCOMPANIED BY THE PARAMOUNT RECORDING ORCHESTRA WITH DIRECTOR NAT FINSTON"
SINGS BUCKING THE WIND
THE ANNOUNCER COMES BACK & SAYS - "YOU HAVE JUST HEARD etc. etc. " then he promotes the movie a bit and names some of the cast.

THEY BELONGED TO NAT FINSTON WHO WAS A CONDUCTOR & GENERAL MUSIC DIRECTOR FOR FILMS FROM PARAMOUNT & MGM BETWEEN 1928 & 1945. They were from the Estate of his daughter Beatrix Padway .
