Description
LARRY ADLER on WORLD PROGRAM SERVICE, 16-inch 33rpm vertical cut, for radio stations only. The harmonica master recorded 8 tracks for World Transcriptions in January and February 1942, with John Kirby's Orchestra, and they were issued on two 16-inch discs with other artists on the reverse sides. 7 of the tracks were later issued on Decca 78s, Decca owning World at this time.
Larry plays BLUES IN THE NIGHT, CREOLE LOVE CALL, THAT OLD BLACK MAGIC, HAND TO MOUTH BOOGIE. Reverse side is KENNY BAKER with Harry Sosnik's Orchestra: EASTER SUNDAY WITH YOU/ MARIANNA, and the two piano team FRAY & BRAGGIOTTI: OKLAHOMA/LOVER
Disc G+ to G, some scuffs and scratches.
Note: "vertical cut" is a type of recording used by radio broadcasting companies, the same as the old "hill and dale" of Edison and Pathe 78s. You need a specially wired cartridge or to be able to reverse the phase. You may also find that this disc plays better with a .7 mil stylus since this plays lower in the groove and gets past the worn areas. This technique doesn't work on 30s verticals but it seems to work nicely on Worlds from the 1940s.
