It is rather fitting that this video is uploaded on the 18th January - five years to the day since I my first upload. It was a scarce Jack Payne record which opened my channel and over the years I've featured many of his recordings. Indeed no other channel has uploaded more. Featuring some of his more uncommon issues, such as

the second of the two records uploaded here.

With a strictly limited distribution, this 6 inch record is a rare survivor and interesting to

compare the two vocals.

Originally featured in the Bessie Love - Charles King film "Chasing Rainbows" The song

was a big hit at the time with over 20 British dance band recordings.

Private version recorded 29th January and the 10 inch version on 1st March 1930.

Vocal chorus by Jack Payne.

I have always thought that Jack Payne's recording of this was the best,helped by the Columbia recording system with plenty of bass,it fairly bounces along rather than marches as some do. Some very accomplished clarinet. I think there is also a good version on early Decca by the Rhythm Maniacs with clar. by Danny Polo.

A Fine way to celebrate your anniversary! That 6" disc is a real rarity and what a treat for us. Thanks for sharing.

Wonderful to hear and see the 6" promotional disc (and nice to hear the original lyrics to the song again in contrast to the Vernon's Pools re-appropriation!)

The public version I was familiar with yet the "private" version I have never heard of before. Very good of you to upload both versions in one video to celebrate 5 years on youtube. Congratulations my friend! Again your personal appearance adds a very nice touch. Here's to the next 5 years - I'm sure there'll be a lot more entertaining records!

Easily the best dance band version out there! Interesting to hear a more obscure private recording, as well. Thanks for sharing!
