Whyperion SUBS 18th May 2019



slholzer 23rd Jun 2017		"Me And The Ghost Upstairs" is shown as being from the film "Second Chorus" but it does not appear in the VHS version of the film. That being the case, this disc provides a glimpse of an otherwise lost piece of Astaire-iana. (Better still, I have found a YouTube clip online that has the actual film-footage! It's a production number (nearly twice as long as the disc) with Fred dancing with a veiled female "ghost" (probably his co-star Paulette Goddard) to the music of the Artie Shaw orchestra. See it while you can!) I think it is doubly valuable for being a rarely heard Johnny Mercer song.



paneity 29th Oct 2016		Both sides recorded on 22 September 1940.
