[78-L] Mae Questel, the Betty Boop girl

[Jan Hovers]

Thank you all for your reactions. The 
trumpet work on Lollipop is indeed excellent. But that is not the only thing interesting about this rather common pop song. They didn’t really save on the costs as there are two piano’s simultaneous soloing right after the trumpet-solo. But what intrigues me most is the recording technique in the mid-thirties; everything is completely in balance. Especially between the soli and the accompanying. I am almost puzzled how many microphones they used for recording a small orchestra. It seems it is not possible they only used one, with the musicians moving forward and backward from the mike. 
Also thanks to Harold for your interesting comment about the amounts of pressed records!
Greetings from Amsterdam,
Jan
