[78-L] Rollini Vocalion question

[Taylor Bowie]

After poking around unsuccessfully for years,  I recently was able to get a 
copy of Vocalion 2675 Of the Adrian Rollini Orch. doing How Can It Be A 
Beautiful Day,  which I only knew from an LP issue.

Two questions on this one...Rust only notes one take as issued,  but Connor 
states positively that there are two takes on Vocalion.  I can't find the LP 
but it must have been Take 2,  as my 78 is clearly stamped take 1,  and it 
sounds a lot more swingy than what I recall from the LP.  Does anyone have 
Take 2 on a 78?  Does take 2 have a little Rollini coda at the end of the 
record,  as does take 1?  I don't recall that at all from the LP.

Also.  of more interest to me.  Rust states that it's Goodman behind the 
Joey Nash vocal and in the wonderful ensemble "ride-out"  but Connor is less 
convinced,  quoting Goodman himself as not being sure that it is he on this 
and the other sides from the session.

So those of you who own this record...what do your ears tell you?  I really 
love this record and have played it about ten times in the last 24 hours, 
and I'm about 99.9 % sure it is not BG...any other thoughts?

And a quick thumbs-up to Joey Nash's vocal on this side...he sounds much 
less affected than he often does on the Himber sides of this era.
