Here is a jazzy orange shellac Perfect record from the Edward Mitchell<\/a> collection that hit record dealer shelves in June 1925.<\/p>\n

Both of these pre-microphone era recordings are performed by members of the California Ramblers, an important 1920s jazz band that recorded hundreds of sides under numerous pseudonyms for most of the American record labels of that decade.<\/p>\n

The Golden Gate Orchestra was one of the band’s most frequently used recording pseudonyms.\u00a0 The Five Birmingham Babies was a pseudonym used by Pathe and its budget-priced subsidiary label Perfect for a smaller ensemble of California Ramblers musicians.<\/p>\n

Among the sidemen performing on “Just A Little Drink” are future bandleaders Adrian Rollini<\/a>, Tommy<\/a> and Jimmy Dorsey<\/a>, and Red Nichols<\/a>.\u00a0 Adrian Rollini and Red Nichols returned to the recording studio the following day to perform on “You’re In Wrong With The Right Baby.”<\/p>\n

This recording of “Just A Little Drink” was also issued on Pathe 036235 under the pseudonym of the Palace Garden Orchestra and on Pathe 10899 as Max Terr And His Orchestra.<\/p>\n

“You’re In Wrong With The Right Baby” also appeared on Pathe 036235 and was credited as the Five Birmingham Babies.\u00a0 \u00a0The issue of “Just A Little Drink” on Pathe 10899 was paired with a different song.<\/p>\n
