Disc #2
JOHNNY MARVIN Disc #2 note
In late 1927 Johnny Marvin's voice seemed to get lighter and
higher-pitched. (Very much like what happened to Cliff Edwards
at that very time). Could it be that Victor deliberately manipulated
the recording speed to get that very effect? "Give Me A Night
In June" in particular sounds like it was recorded at less
than 78 rpm. Track #17 has this at 78 RPM; compare track #25 (~72
RPM)which sounds more like Marvin had sounded previously.
