Jack Hylton Orchestra with German vocals by Austin Egen:


Heut' war ich bei der Frieda (Today I was with Frieda)

Ja, ja, die Frau'n sind meine schwache Seite (Women are my weak point)

Electrola EG782, recorded in Berlin, January 1928

Both great tunes. Thanks for posting them.

I had no idea that Jack Hyltons band recorded sides with German vocals. I know that he did record a number of sides in Berlin (I think Happy Feet was one) but I had assumed that they were all with english lyrics. Did they just import a person to sing the german lyrics
or was it one of the existing band members - I wonder.

Anyway a nice bouncy tune - which is why I love Jack Hylton recordings

Thanks for posting
