1940 HITS ARCHIVE: Celery Stalks At Midnight - Will Bradley (original 78 release version)

Details

Description

Celery Stalks At Midnight (Harris-Bradley) by Will Bradley & his Orchestra, featuring Ray McKinley

This was the actual hit. It may not sound quite like the version that you’ve heard most frequently over the years as Columbia/Sony has for decades been reissuing on LP and CD an alternate take recorded at the same Bradley session, identifiable by different solos (and extra added reverb). The flipside “Down The Road A Piece” is also included in the 1940 collection.

THE 1940 HITS ARCHIVE - a collection of commercial recordings and songs that proved popular during the calendar year 1940 (some were recorded in 1939) via sales, sheet music, and radio exposure.…plus some others that have gained increased recognition or have been shown to have had an impact during the decades that followed. .
