[78-L] 1928 Grey Gull Client Promotional Record

[Michael Biel]

The comment on the voice concerned playing it back on a acoustical
machine which greatly changes the tonal quality of the voice especially
when it is an electrical recording.  The bamboo stylus affects the tonal
quality even more, although it thankfully reduces the wear.  It is not
the volume, it is just that playing any record on an acoustical machine
is playing the machine, not playing the record.

For now, here is the information you requested: Matrix 3011 A : W.N.A.C.
March, composer James M. Fulton, Played by the Polar Bears, under the
direction of Will Dodge, Compliments of Shepard Stores, Boston &
Providence., Matrix 3015A The Polar Bears Picnic, composer J.W. Bratton.
The Polar Bears Orchestra, Will Dodge Director. I don't follow your
request on the voice, just turn up the volume, the voice on the
announcement can be heard just fine. 

Have a great Thanksgiving, 

Bruce

The youtube picture was not clear enough to read most of the label or 
figure out what the matrix number was. Could you post a real photo of 
the label, tell us what the other side was, and perhaps give us an 
electrical transfer of at least the announcement so we can hear what the

voice really sounded like?

Keeping on the Subject of Grey Gull, Donna just recently gave me some 
interesting information on this particular record which I have posted to

my 
Victrolaman Channel. She also shared with me some neat photos of the 
Band Leader, and group photo of the W.N.A.C. Polar Bears, decked out in 
their Polar Bear Suits. 
I will try put those up and share a link so you can see them. Here is 
the link to the Youtube Video. Under the screen if you expand the 
information section you can see some of the information 
she sent me, this early Radio History Related Promotional Record.
