This record Columbia DB.4418 is interesting as it is the last 78rpm issue on this label, so all further single releases on Columbia from then on was 45rpm only in the UK. But due to great improvements these late 78s sounded far superior at the time to the 45s. Was a big mistake to end the 78 format the way it did
I can tell you part of what's amazing here, k25 - this is one of the earliest tunes that, with its syncopation, mimics the bossa nova rythm !!!!!! Check out my playlist called
Bossa Nova - the Magic Beat
Pet Clarks songs were bossa as well - look at the list and listen to the bossa nova beat - it's the magic that made hits out of so many songs ! !
tremendous stuff!

This has got to be the very best arrangement of this classic tune. Russ is sadly missed.

Thanks for the upload. Was thinking this was the origin of one of the Chameleons songs, apparently I was mistaken. Good tune either way.
