Comments and Reviews


Mike Gann 27th Jan 2024		No, they can be incorporated together



historyofcountrymusic 27th Jan 2024		Added the RCA Victor pressing images - does it need a separate listing maybe?



xiphophilos 18th Oct 2017		A & B side: For comparison, here's the longer, 1924 acoustic recording of the same piece on Victor 213228, also with George Gershwin on the piano:



Olorin67 11th Sep 2013		My copy has the older design label, same number. I like this version, but there's still something special about the earlier acoustical recording, which i am still looking for.



LouisSidney 10th Jan 2013		The label says "The composer at the piano". It means George Gershwin himself can be heard (this is the second version, shorter than the acoustic one).



W.B.lbl 10th Jan 2013		While the original release may've been 1927, the label design here points to this pressing being late 1930's.
