[78-L] Paul Whiteman-recording venue?

[Rodger Holtin]

In case you're interested, December 22, 1926, the vocalists on Wistful are Bing Crosby and al Rinker, their first with Pops.  This was six months before Harry Barris arrived so that's Matty Malneck playing the third voice on viola - not violin.  The vocal on the other side is Skin Young et al., not Bing n Al.
 
I suspect one reason this was not reissued on Lp in the 1960's was that it had too much echo already and Ethel couldn't "improve" it.

Don't know the recording date yet(I also ordered the Victor Black Label Discography III yesterday-got all the others). This record has a large sound to it, a "big hall"/"big space" sound with considerable reverb, very live tone. Reminds me of the Waring "Freshie" that had been discussed on the list many moons ago. Anyone know where this was recorded, and under what conditions. I played this on my 1926 Credenza(thanks Don!) and the sound really leaps out at you on this one.
