"Party Records"

Vintage 78 rpm 'Party Records' that were not legal to buy, sell, or possess when they were made. They all include racy stories with profanity that was illegal to put on recordings back then.

Not very raunchy by today's standards, though many of them are offensive and politically incorrect, again by today's standards.

2 x Barbirolli



Brahms: Symphony No. 2 in D, Op. 73
Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York
John Barbirolli, conductor
Recorded on March 27, 1940, in Liederkranz Hall, New York City. Issued in August, 1940, as Columbia Masterworks set M-412 (records 11261-D through 11265-D), in slide automatic sequence as set AM-412 (records 11266-D through 11270-D), and in drop automatic sequence as set MM-412 (records 11271-D through 11275-D). Reissued c. 1953 on LP, as Columbia Entré RL-3044. The side and matrix information:
Side 1 (XCO 27109): First movement (Allegro non troppo), part 1
Side 2 (XCO 27110): First movement, part 2
Side 3 (XCO 27111): First movement, part 3
Side 4 (XCO 27112): First movement, part 4

This was the New York Philharmonic's first recording under its new contract with Columbia, a relationship that prospered for four decades.



Sibelius: Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 43
Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York
John Barbirolli, conductor

Recorded May 6, 1940, in Carnegie Hall, New York.  Issued at the end of 1940, as Columbia Masterworks set M-423 (records 11403-D through 11407-D), in slide automatic sequence as set AM-423 (records 11408-D through 11412-D), and in drop automatic sequence as set MM-423 (records 11413-D through 11417-D).  Reissued c. 1953 on LP, as Columbia EntrĂ© RL-3045.  The side and matrix information:

Side 1 (XCO 27533): First movement (Allegretto), part 1
Side 2 (XCO 27534): First movement, part 2
Side 3 (XCO 27535): Second movement (Tempo andante, ma rubato), part 1
Side 4 (XCO 27536): Second movement, part 2
Side 5 (XCO 27527): Second movement, part 3
Side 6 (XCO 27528): Third movement (Vivacissimo), part 1

   Fourth movement (Finale: Allegro moderato), part 1
Side 8 (XCO 27530): Fourth movement, part 2
Side 9 (XCO 27531): Fourth movement, part 3
Side 10 (XCO 27532): Fourth movement, part 4

The last two movements are presented together in one audio file, with the finale beginning at about 5:46.

This was Barbirolli's second Columbia session with the New York Philharmonic; the first, on March 27, 1940, had produced a recording of Brahms' Second Symphony, which I have uploaded elsewhere.  The second session also produced a recording of Smetana's Overture to "The Bartered Bride" (record No. 19003-D).  In between these two Barbirolli-New York sessions, on April 4, occurred Stravinsky's first recording session with the Philharmonic, producing recordings of his "Rite of Spring" (set M-417) and the suite from "Petrouchka" (set X-177).
