Deus, these were radiotranscriptions quickies. Have not listened to those in years. The price seems OK but there's much better Goodman available.

[neveronfriday]

... but there's much better Goodman available.

Yep.

And I have all of it as well.

I think I'll pass this release by then.

Cheers!

Deus, you sure about that??

I have somewhere in the basement, some 30 or 40 vinyls of rare BG releases that came out on the Sunbeam label. Bought them years ago for 1 buck each. I'm sure you don't have those. I'll sell them to you for a fortune!

(What are friends for ).

I know those 1935 radiotranscriptions sessions are the on two LPs.

Give Deus money to buy all those rare Benny Goodman discs... WE NEED THEM!

Just saw this listed in the latest Collector's Choice catalog and was wondering about it. Googled the album title and found this thread.

I find the feat of a big band recording 50 complete tracks in a seven hour session pretty amazing, "quickies" or not. Was that par for the course in those days for these transcription type sides? That's a LOT of work...

The CC catalog mentions that band members were paid a dollar per tune. Wow.

And - does the band show any sign of fatigue as the session wears on? And did they have a gig later that night?

FIFTY tracks in one day? Pretty damn amazing, I think. I'm tempted to pick this up just because.
