Intro Vaughn De Leath was once referred to as the “First Lady of Radio” and later as “The Original Radio Girl”. She was born in 1896 and died in 1943. Her crooning style of singing caught on and was widely imitated by other stars of the 1920’s. It was this style which presented her with her first exposure to radio, a relatively new technology in the 1920’s. Her first great opportunity came in January of 1920, during a period in which she had predominately making phonograph records. Having come to the attention of Dr. Lee De Forrest, a radio pioneer and the inventor of the vacuum tube triode (a key element required in voice radio transmission at the time), she was invited to sing over his wireless telephone station at 40th street and Broadway in New York City, in the old World Tower building. She was very popular in radio and on phonograph records in the 1920’s, 1930’s and into the early 1940’s. She was featured on “The Voice of Firestone” in the 1928-30 seasons. Her radio show was on both NBC and WOR 4 to 5 times per week. Her last appearances were made on radio in 1943 a few days before her death from uremic poisoning. This CD release demonstrates the many singing styles and talents of Vaughn De Leath. It includes her 1st group of Edison Diamond Discs. Many songs were only recorded for Edison Diamond Disc. Her association with Edison started in 1926 and lasted until 1929 when they ceased their phonograph operation. Her interpretations are more personalized for Edison as longer times up to 5 minutes per side were possible. The Edison recordings demonstrate how she would have presented herself on radio and capture her voice and personality the best. ******************************************************************************************** Presenting a great selection of comic songs from the Ragtime & 1920's Jazz Era. This CD is mastered by vintage-recordings.com. We have been producing quality CD and Cassette transfers for over 30 years. Each transferred is made from a master and you receive the best quality possible from these wonderful vintage recordings. The source material is from our archives of over 20,000 discs and cylinders. Each release is about 1 hour in length. The finest production equipment for the transfer, mastering and manufacturing of our cassettes and CDs is used. Each disc and cylinder is first cleaned to remove any artifacts that may produce extra surface noise or distortions. A custom made stylus is selected for that particular recording to provide the best transfer. This is selected based on the age, type of medium, and existing wear on the record. Each record is correctly adjusted for pitch and playback speed. The "78" r.p.m. record was not always recorded at 78 r.p.m. The speed adjustment varied from 76 to 90 r.p.m. This was dependant on the manufacturer of the disc and the year the disc was recorded. Cylinders were generally recorded at 160 r.p.m but this speed also varied. A combination of advanced filtering using graphic, parametric and digital filters are used to provide the cleanest most natural sounding transfer of the vintage records. After the recordings are mastered further editing is performed using advanced sound restoration software. Our time consuming transfer process has been adjusted, refined and perfected over the last 30 years. We now bring some of our best selling releases to the Ebay community. Enjoy.
