I had this on an 78 in the mid fifties. bobby shaffto and martinique. i lost sometime during the early sixties, and never heard it again until now. I am gobsmacked. It is among my alltime favourite records. As a bit of info, Wilbur du Paris wrote Martinique, along with majorca, madiera, and madagasca, which he called the four M's. Long live Chris Barber!.
I found it after such a long long time - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Listened this great piece of music in the 60s - I owned this record but of a sudden lost it - now its back! THANK YOU!! Hans

Many thanks for putting this on youtube.
-a great number.
It's years since since I've heard it. I would go to Barber concerts in the 50's/60's. Such a long time ago
I believe that Chris and co are still playing-remarkable!
Many thanks again.
