Re: Puzzle Records
Emger,
Do those two records have the same tunes? The Disque Puzzle is French, if I'm not mistaken, but can't remember what songs are on it... Could you post pics of the labels on both records?

Re: Puzzle Records
The English HMV Puzzle Record, Number 3 contains a total of 12 numbers---all instrumental military band music. Part 1 includes "Men of Harlech" and "Hearts of Oak" whilst Part 2 includes "The battle hymn of the Republic", "When Johnny comes marching home" and "Rule Britannia".
The French record does not have a side one or side two specified but contains 6 tunes in total---4 instrumental, from slow Foxtrot to Charleston to Waltz. One recognisable tune is "The kings horses...". The remaining two are vocals---possibly Al Bowlly singing "You are driving me crazy..." and another fast Foxtrot sung by someone with a Bowlly sound-alike voice.

Re: Puzzle Records
Would you consider selling puzzle record #3 or trading for something? I have #1 & #2, but not #3...
