Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with scratches, crackles and pops.
Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique, I decided to start a podcast called Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl. Each episode will feature an album. I’ll tell stories about the family listening to these albums and I’ll give other info about the album and the time it was released.

Great Big Band VocalistsMost times when the Longines Symphonette Society put out albums, we had no idea who the musicians were. But sometimes they did give us all the information. And it’s even rarer when they cram an album full of star singers.
THIS is one of those albums.
These Decca recording artists are still some of the best known. The songs, pure pop gold from the 1930s through 50s.
So, get ready to hear a few memorable singers performing memorable songs in Volume 244: Big Band Vocals.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
