This is a remarkably quiet late 1940s Canadian pressing of two titles recorded in England in 1926.

My favourite Lauder recordings are his electrics from the mid twenties. Lauder's charm comes through more in these than in the acoustics I find. Some of his recordings of the serious songs are quite touching... He was unbelievably popular here in Canada, but then Canada is VERY " Scots"..virtually anyone in Ontario and the Martimes who's family has been here here for more than a couple of generations ( and a lot that haven't too) is usually half Scots. I've had friends from Scotland say about Toronto " Och it's like a big Glasgow... we feel richt at home.."
