Glenn Miller - In The Mood

I Don't really have to explain this 78 do I?

The reason im uploading this one it it's marginally better than any Official RCA Master.
There is Top end Ive never heard before on any CD, Lp, Cassette, 8track, Open Reel of this ever!
and Put those headphones on and hear my "Fake Stereo' version!!

But it comes at a price its a little distorted and its very "compressed to the point of distortion"
Ive had about 8 or so "In The Mood" 78's and this was the only one I bothered to transfer,
You see its not my favorite Miller piece at all!. Its probably its popularity that's turned me off the piece, I mean its not such a bad Riff type song, and I like "Lesser" riff based swing numbers!

Larry Clinton - Down Home Rag HMV AU


Here's another by the Forgotton bandleader Larrt Clinton
the old tune "Down Home Rag" must have been pretty popular at the time as a few bandleaders recorded it one after another or it was cheap on the copyright to record. Hence the "swinging the classics" that was abundant at the time (and around the ASAP ban)

But this version is quite good, In Fact better than Tommy Doresys who's version outsold this one.

Again 3 different restorations for your Perusal.

The Label photo is not the best, and I don't have it anymore so its the best I can come up with !
