Cornet Carillon ( The All Star (Concert) Brass Band - 1953 ) HMV97 Gramophone

Back in the 1970s the long defunct Halifax brewery Samuel Webster used this 1953 Paxton recording of “Cornet Carillon” by The All Star (Concert) Brass Band ( conducted by Harry Mortimer) for their TV advert for Pennine Bitter beer. It was composed by Ronald Binge & is playing here on my HMV 97 portable gramophone.

Absolutely wonderful! It sounds like it's playing in a ballroom or something!

Remembered the advert instantly! Those cornets do a grand job of sounding like bells. As for the gramophone, I believe it was a budget alternative to the 102. Soundbox diaphragm looks a bit different, but sounds great.

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 ! 🙂
