REGINALD DIXON - "DIXON IN SWINGTIME" - GRANADA CLAPHAM JUNCTION - 3/8 WURLITZER - 1939 *****

This is one of REGINALD DIXON'S finest recordings - If you think differently you need your ears testing! His last for REX RECORDS at the fiery GRANADA CLAPHAM JUNCTION WURLITZER ! A cleaned-up version of REX 9552 (matrix nos R3446 & R3447) published in JULY 1939. The under stage installation of the 3/8 and piano which is very much evident in this 10" 78 rpm recording, packs a real punch which is fully exploited by Reg. Although this record was to be be his last recording at Clapham Junction Granada, he continued recording at Granada Theatres notably KINGSTON, WELLING, TOOTING and SLOUGH for REGAL-ZONOPHONE (Gramophone Company). Unfortunately this wonderful Wurlitzer was "exported" to Switzerland where it is installed in a college and used to accompany silent films very loudly I'm informed by an "Eye Witness!" A damn shame! A complete disgrace! Messed about with and ruined!!! John Mann was invited over to Switzerland, and so was I. He went but I turned down the offer. John and the other players were pretty disappointed in the state of the Wurlitzer. Accomp. pistons removed, and the organ was played at full tilt accompanying silent films!!! Another example of "Organ in Wrong Hands" - who exported it? The recordings at Slough were excellent - check out "CLASSICS OF SWING" (February 1942) on ComptonLodgeStudios Channel on YouTube - another really "Swingy" video by DIXON! This video Introduces - "WHISPERING" ; "MARGIE" ; "BUGLE CALL RAG" ; "AVALON" ; "LIMEHOUSE BLUES" & "TIGER RAG" What more could any Dixon fan wish for!
