Digitally remastered, I presume? The sound quality is exceptionally good. Not a pop or a scratch on it.
Parker Gibbs wasn’t exactly Sinatra, was he?
That’s actually not uncommon for the era. Parker Gibbs was one of the horn-playing sidemen. But he’d also do vocal duties, when needed. A lot of these vocalists are not really very good, to put it mildly. But back then, the song and the lyrics (and hence, the selling of Tin Pan Alley sheet-music) were viewed as far more important than the quality of the singer. As long as the singer could reasonably sing in tune, of course.
People also used to just get together, friends and neighbors, and sing songs at home, with a piano. That was more of the mindset back then. Not huge “singing stars” that dominated in the music world. It was more of a social, accessible type of thing. Oh, there were some popular vocalists here and there, who made records, and whose popularity exploded further with radio, especially in the early-1930s.
The sound quality is likely great because it came from an electric Victor record, and they always sounded bright and sharp, with a good range. I think I even have a copy of this very record.
Some YT posters do a good job of denoising. Others ruin the records with overprocessing. They think the goal is to get rid of every trace of noise, and they don’t even notice they have destroyed the music. I like the ones that don’t do any denoising, so I can do it myself.
Also, a 78 in good condition is nearly noiseless.
