Yes, Sidney Torch great masterpiece was Orient Express, recorded by Columbia UK on the great Christie's at the Regal Cinema, Edmonton, in 1935. Mx no CA 14965 published in FB 1133. The opposite side is Temptation Rag, very good too.
The train imitation with the grand organ its astonishing. It blows you away when played in an orthophonic or re-entrant gramophone. On modern equipment it also plays incredibly! What a bass!
One question, the choo-choo boogie mentioned above its the same old choo-choo by Trumbauer? The 1930 record in Okeh (Columbia?) is very good. In Spain it was issued by Odeon (183240).
There is also a choo choo blues by Elmer Barr. VIRGINIANS / ROSS GORMAN — Mx. B 26993 2 — Rec. 1922 10 24 ny
