I’ve mentioned before that I have a particular fondness for 78s from the Eclipse label: to me, the records just sound cosy.
Ain’t It Grand is a comedy song that has been recorded a number of times, but here the sound effects are particularly imaginative.
Also, unlike a lot of comedy records of its time, it still retains its bite, I daresay because cynicism as an attitude has proved itself immune to the ravages of time.
