Glenn Miller and his Orchestra - Melancholy Lullaby + Blue Moonlight (1939)


Another gem from the 78 era, this time it's Glenn Miller and his orchestra on the September 11, 1939 session issued in the UK under HMV 5822. Side A is Benny Carter's and Edward Heyman's Melancholy Lullaby, side B is Dana Suesse's beautiful Blue Moonlight. Both tracks feature Ray Eberle on vocals. Once one gets used to the sound of these, he realizes how much more natural they sound compared to CD remasterings that sound artificial. I even included the original raw file for the brave to experiment, enjoy.

    @jose luis, it seems to me you got lost in the translation. The Ben Webster post was a video on youtube from an account that no longer exists. Someone posted it again and it is now solidly embedded, enjoy. A word of advice: old links can go inactive for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with the uploader's will to keep them active ;)
