Thank you !🙂

78s would more or less end production in the late 1950s in favour of the new lightweight 45 rpm records . The MGM record in this video was released in 1958 & the Decca gramophone was built in 1956, so although the chapter for gramophones & 78s was drawing to a close it's still good to hear them ! 😄

Many thanks Rowan !🙂

Thanks, glad you liked it !🙂

That's really great to hear, he was certainly a great musician, so pleased you enjoyed hearing the record !😊

Thank You !🙂

Thanks , glad you liked it🙂 !

Thanks Rowan !🙂

Thank you !🙂

Could it be that he was trying to copy him ?

It is possible that he had a voice like Rogers, and Decca Records talent scouts scrambled to get him signed to a recording contract. By the early-1940s, the trends in Country music were changing. Such a music artist as this one could no longer be successful in the Country Music genre. The overall sound became more band-oriented.

@@LaptopLarry330 Yes, you could well be right ! 🙂

Thanks for your nice comments ! 😊

You can usually find gramophones for sale on UK Ebay 🙂

Thank you for your reply. Do you sell Gramophone?

Actually I leave in Bangladesh so I don’t have so much idea about London. But I have friends in London and Bristol they will work for me.

@@zakirahmed7619 No , I'm sorry I don't sell gramophones, but as I said there are usually plenty for sale on UK Ebay , so if you have friends in UK , have a look at Ebay & you should be able to get one sent to Bangladesh . Good Luck ! 🙂

Thanks', glad you liked it ! 🙂

Definitely ! 🙂

Thanks, glad you liked it !🙂

Exactly, been there many times in my young days !😊

Thanks Rowan ! 🙂

Why Not !🙂

Thank you !

Well I suppose in back those days , if you smoked enough fags you could play the gramophone whilst you took your photos ! 🙂

@@tiga4180 It looks like it has the garrard 20 motor. It may be a mishmash of a bunch of different parts

@@Looney3987 It has the No 14 motor. The Garrard No 20 motor & the No 14 are identical & will interchange ( as far as I'm aware the only difference is that the spring in the 20 is a bit longer )🙂

Just been listening to your May-Fair Paul & it's sounding great ! They're certainly a well made machine, fitted with a Garrard No 14 motor & a Swiss soundbox , they can pack quite a punch & are well worth having in your collection !😊

@@RichardPGE Thanks for listening & the info. Got it from a friend who had it for years, not realising its quality.

@@Looney3987 A successful mishmash by the sound of it!

I also have one & have posted it on my channel. Would love a copy of 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' to play on it 🙂

I've had it for a few months Rowan & thought it was time it had an airing !

It was often played on the radio in the nineteen fifties !🙂

Found it in a pile or records I came across recently Paul !🙂

Definitely, she was a great performer !🙂

@@RichardPGE witwio

Thanks Rowan , glad you liked it ! 😊

Thanks, glad you like it !🙂

Thank You ! 🙂

Thanks Rowan , glad you liked it !😊

For a small machine they pack quite a punch & also (like your Decca 50) use the Garrard No 20 motor .🙂

Thanks Rowan !

To be honest Rowan there's so many I like, but probably my favourite one would be "The Wheel Of The Wagon Is Broken" which is a 9"Crown recording by Rossini's Accordeon Band which was the first record I possessed when I was a kid in the 1950s . It was a song about cowboys which was a subject that all small boys in the UK were crazy about in those days ! 🤠

I’ll have to give that one a listen!!

Thanks Rowan ! This Decca is just a slightly later version of your machine , it has the same Meltrope soundbox & also the same Garrard No 20 motor the only difference being that it's an angled wind version . 🙂

That's so cool! I thought it looked familiar :)

Glad you liked it ! 🙂

When I came across the record I had the same reaction remembering the advert ! You're correct about the gramophone Paul , it was the HMV 97 (a budget version of the 102 & there was also a Columbia badged version No 204) The soundbox is actually a Columbia 15A, the only difference being that the HMV version had their logo on the front cover of the soundbox ! 🙂

Thanks Rowan , glad you liked it !🙂

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it !🙂
