Description
Disguised as the Riviera Palace Orchestra, Jack Pettis and His Band play a hot "It All Depends on You" on Perfectaphone 3070. Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang get to do their thing for 24 bars. Lang is prominent throughout. I can't determine which take this is.
Bill Moore (tp); poss. Frank Sarlo (tb); Jack Pettis (c-mel, ts); Len Kavash or Norman Ronemous (as); Al Goering (p); Eddie Lang (g); Joe Venuti (vln); Merrill Klein (tu); Dillon Ober (d); Scrappy Lambert, Billy Hillpot (vcl). Recorded in New York on or about January 7, 1927.
On the other side, the Riviera Palace Orchestra -- this time apparently Sam Lanin -- plays a peppy "Hallelujah," and Irving Kaufman sings. Probably recorded in May 1927.
This record is in VV+ condition visually, with some distortion in the loud passages. The ornate labels are beautiful despite record store stickers on both sides. The original Perfectaphone sleeve is beautiful too. It was reinforced carefully with paper tape years ago, but still looks great. There is a 1-1/2-inch tear on the back on the back of the sleeve, but the paper is all there and it can be repaired.
I'm a longtime collector who is downsizing. I know how to pack records.
