Decca 18503: Ink Spots, ‘Street of Dreams’/’Don’t Get Around Much Anymore’

One of many old 78s in my collection. Dates are approximated as best as possible based on the labels and what information I can find on the ‘net. The sound quality on these is quite variable. I’ve cleaned the worst of the pops and skips as best as I can, but these won’t be anywhere near modern fidelity. Enjoy them for what they are.

The Organ in Stereo

And that’s all there is for this one — no liner notes at all. I’m guessing that this was a ‘60’s era ‘stereo recording is a new thing’ release, but haven’t been able to find any definitive information.

Salvation

Musicians as determinedly spontaneous as Salvation by necessity must make music that reflects their own personalities and Salvation’s music is joyous and ‘good timey.’ But perhaps the best comment on its flavor came from the Berkeley poet John Thompson who stopped by and chanced to hear the test pressing. He was fascinated and when it was over he murmured, ‘It’s like a birthday present!’ And it is, isn’t it?
