[78-L] Yeast Foamer's March

[Rodger Holtin]

Ah ha.  Thanks for the new link to the DAHR, hot off the wordpress,
apparently.  So, it looks like the new and improved version of the EDVR
search feature works better than the old one.

 

This entry seems to indicate it to have been a recording from a radio
broadcast, and that would explain the long lead-ins on both sides.  Now I'm
less inclined to believe this to be a promotional item, but more likely a
gift premium for loyal listeners who sent in their empty yeast packets and a
nickel to get this swell new record.  At one time I believed it may have
been the company band, the boys in the warehouse or something, but it's
arrangement is way too intricate and well-executed for amateurs, so this
sure seems a professional studio group (orchestra, with fiddles, yet), and
it seems too clear to be an AM radio capture, so a direct line feed seems
likely, but it does end with "this record made..." so maybe it really is a
studio-only session to sound like radio.  We know that was done more than
once in those days, too.

 

 

Yes, Kurt, some time ago I gave a copy to my son, a high school band
director who grew up listening to this thing.  His wife is from Chicago.  I
think we have as much chance hearing it from the football field as we have
to hear In the Gloaming on the Top Ten.

 

Well, did the boys on Facebook dredge up anything on this classic?

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? Rodger For
