This song was never released commercially, and only used for broadcast over radio stations in the 1930's.
The version here came from a "Hindsight" CD compilation back in 1995, and it features great remastering from the original 16-inch, 33 1/3 rpm, vertical cut transcription records recorded in 1935.

The one problem I found in the sound was a slight echo added between left and right channels to try to get a "psuedo stereo" effect from the original mono recordings, most noticeable on headphones. I played the CD through my stereo system, using the mono control to combine the left and right channel which made for a more focused sound by canceling out the slight echo.

Otherwise, this record has very good sound by 1935 recording standards.

Enjoy this Big Band classic performance by Glen Gray & Casa Loma Orchestra!!
