This record is actually a little before its time. The Revelers recorded Collegiate for Victor on September 15, 1925, before the switch was made from acoustic to electrical recording. The style of singing The Revelers use would have come through much better with microphones instead of megaphones, but it is charming, nonetheless. A CD of recordings by The Revelers is available online here. If you have ever heard the Comedian Harmonists, you now know where their inspiration came from.
