Description
You are bidding on a glass-based acetate dated October 11, 1947. The record itself has no label.
The recordings are of the popular radio show Your Hit Parade. (see info below)
One side features two separated tracks, Frank Sinatra performing "Almost Like Being In Love" and Doris Day performing "Feudin' and Fussin'" Sinatra introduces the Doris Day track as the # 2 song. The reverse features an announcer's lead-in to Sinatra performing the #1 song, "I Wish I Didn't Love You So."
I do not know the provenance on these, whether they are from a radio station or how they originated. The only information is penned on the outer sleeve as shown in scan which names Sinatra and Day along with the date.
Condition is Excellent. Appears to have been rarely played. No surface flaking or imperfections of any kind.
Winner pays $4.00 shipping if within U.S. Otherwise actual rate plus $2.00 costs.....
When Your Hit Parade began on NBC April 20, 1935, it was a 60-minute program with 15 songs played in a random format. Initially, the songs were more important than the singers, so a stable of vocalists went uncredited and were paid only $100 per program. In 1936-37, it was carried on both NBC and CBS. Script continuity in the late 1930s and early 1940s was written by Alan Jay Lerner before he found fame as a lyricist.
Some years passed before the countdown format was introduced, with the number of songs varying from seven to 15. Vocalists in the 1930s included Buddy Clark, Lanny Ross, Kay Thompson and Bea Wain (1939-44), who was married to the show's announcer, French-born André Baruch. Frank Sinatra joined the show in 1943 and stayed until 1945, returning (1946-49) to co-star with Doris Day.
