Description
Born in England to Russian immigrants, Albert Sandler (1906-1948) was a violinist and orchestra leader who worked in clubs, early radio and motion pictures. Apparently, never in the best of health, he overworked himself and died prematurely at age forty-two. On this English Columbia, he plays “Bitter Sweet” melodies by Noel Coward, introducing “I’ll See You Again” “What Is Love?” and “Kiss Me.” On the flip side, Sandler plays the lovely and forgotten “Sleepy Valley.” These were probably recorded in late 1929.

NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
