"Spanish Shawl" is a great tune. Since it's a 1926 recording of the Georgia Melodians, I didn't expect so much out of it.
Their 1924 recordings are better.
By 1926 it was another band using the same name. But when I played it, it was fantastic, absolutely one of their best 1926 recordings.

Paal,

I totally agree with your assessment that the Georgia Melodians' 1924 recordings are the best.

Rocky,

Their 1925 recordings are also quite good, but nothing beats their records from 1924.
