Here's their rendition of a Noel Coward song from BITTER SWEET. I don't know who the singer is.

The small 'o' on the label just under the 'R' in 'Recording' at the top of the label is not frequently seen on Victor records; it only appears on records pressed in their Oakland, California plant.

Though I did this transfer in July 2002, I thought it still sounded good enough to post here. I hope you enjoy it!

Recorded 9th December 1929.

Hey, thats a great version of this song and one I haven't heard before. I have a version by the UK Band Jack Hylton & his orchestra. Here is a link to it. It includes a selection of songs from the show "Bitter sweet"

Glad you liked it! The other side of the record is 'I'll see you again' also from BITTER SWEET. I have it dubbed now; I'll see if I can get it uploaded this evening.
