Colonel Bogeys VV VI 27th Sep 2023



TheJudge 9th Aug 2021		Is the 'composer' here the later famous theatrical and TV impressario Val Parnell? The dates would match up - he would have been in his mid-20s at this time.



xiphophilos 8th Aug 2021		You are absolutely right. It would have been difficult to record the real events with the kind of primitive recording technology people had in 1915, basically a gigantic funnel into which everyone had to speak, sing, or play. Instead, record companies came up with these so-called "Descriptives," reenactions of important events that must have been quite popular back then. Here are a few examples: Landing Of The British Army In France, Winner 2703 (1914) Luigi Baldassare, Un Episodio Dell' Invasione Tedesca Nel Belgio [=An Episode from the German Invasion of Belgium] / Un Visitatore Misterioso Al Quartier Generale Del Kaiser [= A Mysterious Visitor At the General Headquarters of the Kaiser] on Columbia E2621 (1915) Colantuoni, La Presa Di Monte Nero [= The Conquest of Monte Nero] / Gli Ultimi Giorni Di Gorizia Austriaca [= The Last Days Of Austrian Gorizia] (1916) on Columbia E2829



mitch369 8th Aug 2021		In no way is this a recording of actual events. It is clearly a staged propaganda mix of dialogue and patriotic songs. The date given is approximate and in sequence with previous submissions but it could be earlier.
