Polyphon is a good connection for us, so y'all can get more involved seeing ESO news more regularly

The wonderfully cumbersome subtitle for this LP does a pretty good job of explaining its content: “Popular music from Victorian musical shows and other favourites of the Gay ‘90s performed disc musical boxes and pianola rolls”. Yes, that’s right, musical boxes, from the collection of the late Roy Mickleburgh, transferred to acetate from the original Polyphon rolls, discs and cylinders. The music here are popular favourites of the Victorian music hall era: Robin Hood, Floradora, Belle of New York and of course God Save the Queen and that alternative national anthem, Daisy Bell. (The Kubrick connection popping up again). It also includes such lesser known numbers as The Anti-Cigarette Society (first performed in New York in 1897) and I’m A Naughty Girl and Rhoda And Her Pagoda both performed in 1898 at Daly’s Theatre London which has since been demolished by Warner Brothers (twice) and upon which now stands Leicester Square’s multiplex Vue West End Cinema. Mickleburgh had an extensive collection of these machines, which were generally installed in public spaces (restaurants, cinemas, hotels) rather than aimed for private homes and although some of them can now be found in Bristol Museum (where he lived) this LP is one of the best ways to listen to the range of music they produced. At one point you can hear a coin dropping into the slot, such is its authenticity. #victorianmusichall #musichall #polyphon #pianola #daisybell #saydiscrecords #gaynineties #findesiecle #vinyl #recordcollection #nowplaying #nowlistening @flashbacklondon #randomrecordreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5w28vJ3bU/?igshid=1oly6lxig0h2w
