Heartaches ▪︎ 3 Different Player Piano Roll versions. (1930s, 1940s & 1960s).

Here, you can experience the haunting evolution of "Heartaches" on a vintage player piano. Originally, it was recorded by Guy Lombardo in 1931 and Al Bowlly, the melody became a #1 smash for Ted Weems' whistling version and Harry James in 1947. Connie Francis brought mid-century melancholy, Patsy Cline turned it into a country-pop standard, and The Marcels delivered a hit doo-wop twist. Decades later, The Caretaker sampled these ghostly echoes for "It's Just a Burning Memory" in Everywhere at the End of Time. Have a listen as these three player piano rolls bridge big-band history, vintage jazz, and liminal space nostalgia. The Imperial roll has been "declared" somewhat very scarce in the world of player piano rolls. I'm happy that I can share this with you. 00:00 ▪︎ Version #1: Aeolian roll #1012, Shorts & Edwards. 1960s version 02:18 ▪︎ Version #2: QRS roll 8213, Franke Milne. 1940s version 04:30 ▪︎ Version #3: Imperial roll 07702, most likely arranged by J.
