Subject: [78-L] Yeast Foamer's March

Many of us know and love this record. Kurt uses it as his theme song forthe bidder shows. What do we really know about this record? All copies I have seen are white label Victor specials with gold print,bearing mx 64230-2 for The Yeast Foamer's March by Yeast Foamer's Orchestra,direction of Harry Kogan; and 64231-1 for the flip side, In the Gloaming byChauncey Parsons, Yeast Foam's Magic Tenor. Northwestern Yeast Company,Chicago, Illinois. The announcer has a strong Chicago accent. For starters, the mx is not in the Victor Master Book as it was not intendedfor issue on a domestic commercial record. It falls, however, between 64087on April 2, 1931 and 64301, six months EARLIER on October 7, 1930. Most ofthe 64000, and 64100 and 64200 are all missing, including the Foamers. Anyexplanation where those blocks may have been allocated? That's nearly 300missing matrices. Whenever it was made, it post-dates the current EDVR status, but ChaunceyParsons shows up on a pair of tests made in 1926. Neither the band norHarry Kogan show up on EDVR, but Harry and Chauncey namesakes show up onfacebook. Northwestern Yeast recipe books seem to show up pretty regularly,but I have not scoped out any histories indicating a date of demise oranything else. Does anybody know the story behind this record? It's obviously andadvertising promotion, but has anybody seen an original sleeve or mailerwhich may give us some clues?
