We are delighted to give
details of another wonderful Crosby release from Sepia Records in this
edition.
“Kraft Music Hall Time” follows on from the Philco,
Chesterfield
and Guest
Star
Time issues and I am sure that members will be very pleased with
the mastering
work done by Robin Cherry to bring Bing’s radio tracks for Kraft back
to life.
This magazine has a very
wide selection of articles with Jeremy Rose dissecting a Crosby /
Clooney
recording session and Eva Posin investigating the influence of
classical music
on Der Bingle. Martin McQuade reviews Bing’s interaction with the
ladies of the
White House and we have a learned analysis of Al Jolson’s influence on
our man.
Lorne Harasen highlights Mary Crosby, John Bassett has another rare
record for
us to consider and David Lobosco looks at “Waikiki Wedding”. Ken
Crossland is
very pleased with a recent acquisition and Graham Pascoe reports on the
reaction to “Mr. Music” in Australia.
The front cover shows Bing
in his comeback years and the back cover has the crooner enjoying the
sun at
his Nevada ranch. There was once a rumour that Bing had made a record
with Russ
Columbo and the letter on the inside back cover seems to confirm that
to be
false.
This
56-page glossy magazine continues to be essential reading for the
serious
Crosby supporter and order your copy of the magazine now by contacting
