The sound of the 1931-1932 Cotton band was second to none, and Cyril Grantham's vocals are among the best of the period.

Billy Cotton's band outdid itself in this particular medley of songs....what a wonderful spirited medley of music.....thank you.

This happens to be one of my favorite uploads and I am surprised it hasn't gotten much attention -- so I am particularly appreciative of your very kind comment. Thank you!

All of these recordings are a cultural treasure. They must be preserved!

Why do old shellac records need to be preserved? Hell, we hove handrail rap. There isn’t a recording artist today willing to nicely and just sing into the 🎤 . This music of first half of the century is one of my favorites along with “real classical music” such as Mozart and Beethoven. Alas, that kind of society will never return 😥.

_Things I Never Knew 'Til Now_ reminds us that the steadily propulsive four-beat rhythm section was more acceptable on British records than American ones in the early '30s. Over here there was an unwritten rule limiting four-beat to 16 bars in the last chorus.

It's the first time I've heard "Singing in the Moonlight" played by Billy Cotton. This song was composed by my great-uncle, Hugh Wade and I have a recording of it by Layton and Johnstone. It was also played by Henry Hall. Thanks for posting, the sound quality is superb.

Wow that is something to be proud of! It's a lovely song, I only knew the Henry Hall version before this.

Fantastic! Even more so when you figure these recordings were made almost 90 years ago! Great remastering!

"Singing in the Moonlight" is a real "Pennies from heaven"-tune! (Like "Whistling in the dark"!)

My Father always says "Wakey Wakey" when i mention Billy Cotton,just a shame the great style the band had in the early 30s,was quite different by the 50s and the TV show most people alive in the 50s remember him for.
