06 Mikado 1930 I am so Proud

Singer: Robert Carr

W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, The Mikado (Selection)
Recorded: November 1930
Performers: Robert Carr, Joan Cross, Randell Jackson, Dan Jones, Alice Lilley, Appleton Moore, Nellie Walker. Joseph Batten is the listed conductor, but the recordings were probably conducted by Charles Prentice.

Format: 6 x 78rpm 10” disks (16 tracks)
Label: Columbia 255 (DB 321-326)
Released: 1931

The records are played on an HMV 102 portable gramophone from about 1931, and recorded with a Blue Yeti USB microphone, using Audacity software. There has been no post-processing. This is, so far as possible, how a recording of ninety years ago would have sounded when played on one of the most popular machines of the day.

I bought this boxed set in 1974. Sadly, disk 4 was broken, and the broken part had been thrown away.
