When Eli Oberstein decided to get into the "bargain LP" business in 1951 (as "Record Corporation of America"), he revived his "Royale" label {with several others}, and made a fortune. This is from one of his 1954-'55 releases (it originally sold for 99 cents or less, depending on where it was available), featuring unidentifed European musicians and vocalists who recorded for very little money (guess who got most of it?). This rendition is quite good, though....
