In a recently acquired collection we have found a 3 inch record from the
Decca Personality Series, "Does Your Heart Beat for Me" by Russ Morgan, #25080.
Can anyone tell me a little about the history of 3 inchers and/or the Decca
Personality Series?
It was mounted (glued) on a matte, along with a 7 inch disc, H Berliner
Gramophon record, "Romance for Trombone" Military Band (Bennet) Washington, D.C.
May 27, '97. No explanation for the juxtaposition, just matted and frame
FWIW, Russ Morgan was a trombonist, so perhaps it was a sort of gag gift
for him?
Andy Mansfield was the pianist on the Ray Miller & His Hotel Gibson
Orchestra sides recorded for Brunswick in Chicago (in October 1927)and
Cincinnnati (in February 1928). A "Happy Mansfield" was the bass player
for the band when it recorded in 1926 - perhaps a relative?
