That's My Weakness Now - Raymond Dance Band

This record is a bit of a mystery to me. It's Regal G9198. The Raymond Dance Band is one of the various pseudonyms used on these UK Regals. In this particular case I really don't know which orchestra it is, actually. It definitely sounds British to me. UK Regals usually feature reissues of Columbia material, so it must be a British orchestra that was under contract with Columbia at the time (1928).

That's a great record and I agree that it sounds British... Maybe Al Starita?

Thanks Curt, I already thought it might be Starita, but since a Google search didn't turn up any Starita recordings of this tune, I couldn't verify it. If I only had a copy of Rust's "British Dance Bands" I could know it for sure, but unfortunately whenever these turn up for sale they're more expensive than a 78 of the Charleston
