Tell Me Who
LP Broadway BR-100

We are presented with a radio rarity from January 1929. The National Radio Advertising Company made transcriptions, recorded in Brunswick’s studios on 12’’ 78 rpm records. The shows got their name after the different sponsors, here it is “Sunny Meadows” and their sponsors product was Meadows Select-A-Speed washing machine.
The company recorded both symphonic orchestras and jazz, and in this case it’s “Ray Miller and his Orchestra” that we hear.
I only know of one other recording of this tune and it was made in New Orleans on portable equipment when the music of “Halfway House Orchestra” was captured on disc.
Bob Nolan, who takes some risks, is doing the vocal and the jazz is provided by a chorus from Muggsy Spanier and by an unknown good accordion player.
Unfortunately I think that it’s not anymore possible to phone or to otherwise get hold of the Meadow products announced however tempting they seem to be.
