Glen Gray - Undecided (Shavers) DECCA 64711 *UPDATE * Just recived this Email. Hello Mr Gregg Just by coincidence i found on "You Tube" your recording of "Undiceded" that you credited to Glen Grey (Name should be Glen Gray ) on Decca - matrix 64711. In my opinion is this an error, "Undecided" was recorded by John Kirby and his Onyx Club Boys and recorded 28 october 1938 on Decca 2216 (Matrix 64711) I totaly agree it sounds a LOT like John Kirby Now before I start getting technical about this and other 78 restorations let me tell you a bit about why I'd even attempt to do this. Im a big fan of the Big Bands to the point I've spent more than 10 years presenting "Swing Type" Radio shows showcasing top swing bands of the day (and today!) playing arrangements that are SOLID! not the same old same old "In the mood" "Sing Sing Sing" stuff oh no sir, in over 1000+ shows I've not trotted out the old "standards" but played top arrangements that you may have never heard. In doing this I would pull out old LP's and Buy loads of CD's, Now i used to get VERY VERY annoyed when I'd hear a 78 that had A LOT of "Work" on it. to the point that all the "Top End" was gone. OK it takes most of the "scratchiness" away yes i agree, but it also kills the music FULL STOP. Now when i was a lad and played 78's quite a bit, If some mad scientist offered me a device that would take away 10 say 20 percent of the surface noise I'd have paid the earth!!.. so now 20 years later why do people think that if ...
