I have a brown shellac Perfect record. It is mislabeled and it says that both sides of the record are "When you're far away" by Vernon Dalhart. I have confirmed that one side of the record is correct and is indeed that song, but the other side is a mystery to me. In the shellac on the unknown side, it says "32220 B" but that may not be correct. Here is a link to my record.

What is this song and who sings it?

"The Prisoner's Sweetheart," attributed to George Morbid. https://www.discogs.com/release/2241300 ... GBPoXF6GpJajhuth1877 wrote: Thu Jul 03, 2025 12:49 pm I have a brown shellac Perfect record.

Issued by Perfect as 12229, but carried the Pathé Actuelle numbers in the matrices, as you've noted. Issued on Actuelle under the numbers in the deadwax. https://www.discogs.com/release/6919292 ... GUaM_G-FVC
