1911: Up, Up a Little Bit Higher (Phonographic Yearbook

1911: Up, Up a Little Bit Higher (Phonographic Yearbook Series)

26 gloriously restored tracks from the year that witnessed excitement and terror in the skies. The aviation craze delighted the country, but the fire at the Triangle Shirtwaist Company in New York City took 146 lives and horrified the public conscience. Safety laws put into place in the aftermath of the blaze were one aspect of progressive legislation that asserted government's right to regulate the way business owners treated their employees. The songs that provided the soundtrack to the year 1911 range from ragtime classics such as "Alexander's Ragtime Band" and "The Oceana Roll" to sentimental favorites such as "Mother Machree," "All Aboard for Blanket Bay," and "Don't Wake Me Up, I Am Dreaming." Some of the biggest hits of all time came out in 1911: Beth Slater Whitson's "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," Shelton Brooks' "Some of These Days," Tell Taylor's "Down by the Old Mill Stream," and Bryan and Fischer's "Come, Josephine, in My Flying Machine." All are performed by the original artists, the stars of the acoustic era of recording: Collins and Harlan, Billy Murray, Ada Jones, Blanche Ring, the Peerless Quartet, and the inimitable Sophie Tucker among them. One great prize that you'll treasure is Gene Greene's signature hit, "King of the Bungaloos," heard here in the first recording of it that Greene made. The sixteenth installment in our popular Phonographic Yearbook series, 1911: "Up, Up a Little Bit Higher" features 24 pages of notes in beautiful full color and more than 76 minutes of brilliant audio.
