[78-L] Mystery Tenor

[David Lennick]

I don't think anyone's ever done a complete issue of those Peerce Royale (etc) sides. There are 30. Erno Rapee conducts on the first session (including Vesti/La Donna), Dick Leibert is the organist on some (like the one anonymously issued which reads "O Promise Me" - Tenor with Organ), others have unknown accompaniment.

Those sides have a "transcription" sound to them in some cases and Vesti La Giubba was reissued on 45 transferred from a very noisy 33rpm lacquer, so we know Obie was recording and dubbing from 33RPM originals (I have two very different issues of "She Had to Go and Lose It at the Astor", running at different speeds, both from the same source).
