78.Rpm. Records ( Only 78's )

All the music on this Blog is recorded from 78's rpm so you kinda get the pure music sound.From about the 50's onwards all the music console's with all the knobs and sliders could alter the tone of the recorded voice came into play so they could play with the recordings till it sounded okay. Some of the records on here are very badly scratched and worn with plenty of hiss crackles and pops so I have a filter on my computer that eliminates the hiss and crackles so the sound won't be 100% pure

Bob and Alf Pearson were an English musical variety double act, consisting of brothers Robert Alexander Pearson (15 August 1907 – 30 December 1985)and Alfred Vernon Pearson (15 June 1910 – 7 July 2012), who were mainly known for their singing of songs as a duo in close-harmony. Their career together lasted over 50 years, spanning stage, radio, television and gramophone records.

During the 1930s, they became one of the most popular acts in Britain, and had sold over a million records by 1936.
