- It is rather fitting that this video is uploaded on the 18th January - five years to the day since I my first upload. It was a scarce Jack Payne record which opened my channel and over the years I've featured many of his recordings. Indeed no other channel has uploaded more. Featuring some of his more uncommon issues, such as
the second of the two records uploaded here.
With a strictly limited distribution, this 6 inch record is a rare survivor and interesting to
compare the two vocals.
Originally featured in the Bessie Love - Charles King film "Chasing Rainbows" The song
was a big hit at the time with over 20 British dance band recordings.
Private version recorded 29th January and the 10 inch version on 1st March 1930.
Vocal chorus by Jack Payne.
I just happened to land on this great recording by Jack Payne. My dad and their "Orion Dans Orkester" played it in the early -30's back in Sweden. He used to sing this tune for us when I grew up there in the early -50's. They were very popular as they got the latest sheet music straight from England and Happy Days was one of them. So this is what they would have sounded like. They never recorded any of their music just toured around and played the dances. Thank you very much for putting this on UA-cam.
I Love this guys voice best accent in.world British accent the way he sez. Recod. Love it God Save Her Majesty
This is such a great antidote to modern life, a great upbeat track full of optimism and hope for the future, recorded as it was at the start of The Great Depression.
Being a long time Jack Hylton fan, i have always loved his version of this, but having heard this many years ago also, i have to say this is my favourite. Thank you for featuring this great happy tune!
Ever version of this song i love!
I much prefer the vocal on the private recording version as I've always felt that let down the 10" version a bit. Although recorded by columbia the recording quality of the private version seems to be quite poor in comparison especially as the pictures of it doesn't slow its excessively worn.
The public version I was familiar with yet the "private" version I have never heard of before. Very good of you to upload both versions in one video to celebrate 5 years on youtube. Congratulations my friend! Again your personal appearance adds a very nice touch. Here's to the next 5 years - I'm sure there'll be a lot more entertaining records!
I have always thought that Jack Payne's recording of this was the best,helped by the Columbia recording system with plenty of bass,it fairly bounces along rather than marches as some do. Some very accomplished clarinet. I think there is also a good version on early Decca by the Rhythm Maniacs with clar. by Danny Polo.
I fully agree Roger. This is a typical late 20's treatment, lots more jollity, and I love the Sousaphone bass, more distinctive that string bass versions.
What a treat. Thanks for the personal introduction and comparison of versions! b.
Super excellent with very good interesting photos
I want this one
That was neat~! --and with the sleeve it came in, no less~! Beautiful little promo record...love the label~!
I have 2 takes of Happy Days AHA on CB 9.
One take is the same as the 6 inch. The other without the vocal trio.
I've just stumbled across your channel - thank goodness!
Wonderful to hear both, and enjoyed both, thank you. Nice to meet you.
Janette Walker Thank you very much. Your comments are always appreciated.
THANK YOU! What a TREAT! I LOVE THIS!
great
That was fantastic, I've always been a Jack Payne fan from age 7 and that's 59 years ago!
Easily the best dance band version out there! Interesting to hear a more obscure private recording, as well. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad you enjoyed the two versions. With you in mind, there will be another Radio double bill in the not too distant future (possibly next month).
Not only entertaining but informative too! An irresistible combination.
A Fine way to celebrate your anniversary! That 6" disc is a real rarity and what a treat for us. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your comment which is most appreciated. I think it unlikely I'll see another copy of the 6" record.
Lovely version
Wonderful to hear and see the 6" promotional disc (and nice to hear the original lyrics to the song again in contrast to the Vernon's Pools re-appropriation!)
It was indeed a coincidence that we should have variations on a theme regarding this tune. Vernon's Pools had a novel take on this standard but I think Jack's version has the edge :)
Have you got a spare copy ? Love this, it was on the Pennies from heaven album soundtrack. Starring Bob Hoskins.
This was one of Jack Payne's biggest selling Columbia records, with 41,149 copies sold. Whilst I don't presently have a spare, I would suggest checking your charity shops or E bay. Shouldn't be too hard to find a copy.
jackpaynefan I guess as a collector, you don't keep or buy spare copies !! ?
Don't look in charity shops anymore, many don't have 78s these days and if they do, they are a ridiculous price, eBay prices are just or worse !!
@@radiogramgramophonetoons5802 Just to clarify, I don't buy spares of common records - if I did I would not have any room !
Love it!
Great to have this souvenir record. I note its play speed is 78, when many Columbias I've come across are to be played at 80. Any idea when Columbia adopted this standard. The other interesting Columbias I've met are the demonstration records of C. 1910. I uploaded a couple of these, strangely they don't seem to be all that rare.
+Paul Harrison The Columbia changeover from speed 80 to 78 took place towards the end of 1927. I know the Columbia demonstration record of c. 1910 and you are right in that they do turn up from time to time. Glad to know you enjoyed this upload. Thanks.
Paul Harrison ,
Good job.
love it
One of my favorite songs is "Masquerade" by Jack Hylton, i know Jack Payne did a version of it, do you have it?
Yes I do have the Jack Payne version. I would be pleased to upload it in due course, In the mean-time I have quite a few in the pipeline including another 2 by Jack Payne. So it could be more than a couple of months or more but I will gladly upload it for you.
jackpaynefan Ok, that will be fine, i can wait
Bryan Smith It has taken some time but I had not forgotten. Jack Payne's "Masquerade" is now uploaded on my channel. I hope you like it.
Was the shop that gave this away a Gramophone shop? For some odd reason I thought it was a Tobacco store ? But cant remember where I got that from?!Cheers,David
I believe it was a gramophone shop. A rather large one too judging by the fact that the sleeve invites people to hear records in their audition rooms. G. Roberts and Co.must have sold a lot of Columbia records for them to issue a special record for this shop.
apologies - I didn't notice that on the sleeve.
cheers.
David.
