Willi Kollo & Columbia Tanz-Orchester - Ich bin so scharf auf Erika

"Ich bin so scharf auf Erika" (translated "I lust after Erika") was composed by a well-known man: the pianist of the Comedian Harmonists, Erwin Bootz. Between 1930 and 1931, he left the group to try out a solo career with his own songs - though Bootz made nearly all arrangements for the Comedian Harmonists, he hardly ever got a chance to introduce an own song. This song was composed during the short solo career period of Erwin Bootz and is here performed by Willi Kollo (son of composer Walter and father of tenor Rene) and the Columbia Orchester (identified as one of the many pseudonyms of Otto Dobrindts orchester).

That's a very nice and sharp interpretation of this fresh song.
There is also another version available, played by Dajos Bela and sung by Leo Monosson: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiyIlyVcFfc

Original 78rpm tune without any sound editing, played on a Dual 1209 turntable from 1968 and transferred via CD.

Ja, danke vielmals!

Leider ist die Platte bei einer Aufräumaktion vor einem halben Jahr zu Bruch gegangen, jetzt habe ich sie nur mehr mit einem abgebrochenen Stück. :( Wenigstens ist die Musik hier noch hörbar...
