Annette Hanshaw sings "Ain't Cha", recorded in New York on November 27,
1929, released on Paramount Publix SR1069P in select movie theaters
only!. Annette is in her role as "girl big band singer" accompanied by
Ben Selvin and His Orchestra probably consisting of Red Nichols t,
Glenn Miller tb, Jimmy Dorsey cl, Jack Hansen bb, George Beebe d, Irving
Brodsky p, Tommy Felline bj, PeeWee Russell cl, and Fud Livingston as,
with Ben Selvin dir. The music was composed by Mack Gordon and Max
Rich. Ain't Cha was featured in the Paramount film Pointed Heels sung
by Helen Kane (Betty Boop) and the Paramount Publix label editions were
sold only in theaters at the time the film was being exhibited. There
were usually only 300 pressings of a Publix label so that they could be
considered collector's items. Helen Kane's version of the song could
not be sold by Paramount Publix because Kane was under contract to
Victor Talking Machine, but Kane did release her own version of Ain't
Cha on Victor on October 29, 1929, Victor label 22192, recorded at the
Victor Labs, 28 W 44th in New York.. Hanshaw was under contract to
Columbia which produced the 78s for Paramount so Hanshaw was
able to make the recording for sale in theaters.
XOXOXOXO
