#Music #Vintage #AlBowlly #78RPM #BlueMoon #PopularMusic #WorldWarII #WW2 #History #record
Some sentimental self indulgence, as I’ve always loved Al Bowlly’s version of “Blue Moon”. We own an original 78, recorded in New York on January 12th, 1935.
Sadly, Al was killed during a German air raid on London in 1941, but left behind a great musical legacy. If you ever see a 78 of “Midnight, The Stars And You” lying around, take good care of it. You may be £700 to £800 richer!
