Clive Carey - I Will Give My Love an Apple - Plus Jim's Sound experiment
Here's Clive Carey singing Gave I Will Give My Love an Apple on my beloved green HMV 102 Gramophone, and afterwards a quick experiment at recording by placing the camera directly into the internal horn of the HMV 102 Gramophone for a sound comparison.
