Authentic Black musicians playing in a their own original style and recording in London..l wonder if British whites realised just how lucky they were to see and hear such music
@davidglow3 from what I read, they couldn't get enough of it. The Prince of Wales was reputed to have seen it no less than 20 times. I'm sure the show would have continued to run had Mills not taken ill - however it inspired the later success "Blackbirds of 1928", so all was not lost!
How odd that my copy has exactly the same needle damage on the label!
I agree that both sides are excellent.
