Collector's Checklists
EDDY DUCHIN 33s
by Music Librarian Christopher Popa
The focus of this list are Eddy Duchin’s recordings on LP. Perhaps starting some confusion, one of Columbia's 10" albums was titled "A Tribute To Eddy Duchin" - however, they were his own recordings. Also, Columbia’s most famous 12" Duchin album used on its cover a photo of Tyrone Power, who played him in a 1956 film biography – yet, again, they were Duchin’s own recordings. Competing with them was Decca’s film soundtrack album which also showed Power on its cover and was reissued quite a few times, but was performed by pianist Carmen Cavallaro. Sorting through those and other releases, including additional Duchin salutes recorded later by Cavallaro and others’ Duchin tributes on budget labels, I have tried to clearly identify which are the authentic Duchin versions.
