The band in this record it doesn't sound to me like the one reported in Rust's "Jazz Records" discography -- also, the trumpet player doesn't have the phrasing nor the tone of Alfie Noakes so I assume it's Arthur Wilson.
Vocals by Peter Bernard.

recorded in London, 1926

Great sound for such an early electrical recording !

@iainr222

trying to get the best from a V+/E- copy, however you can notice distortion in loud passages, this is due to the steel needles and heavy sound box damaging teh groove walls...

Oh WoW! This side's got the lot! Even the famous back-announcer, who only appears on a few Winer sides. Fabulous.

@muscleco

I'd like to know the name of the announcer!

[HarborGuy]

Very suggestive title  lovely old French Post Cards thanks...........

[lindyhoppers]

@HarborGuy

thank you for stopping by!

[muscleco]

That announcer was terribly Edwardian sounding! Might have been one of the Edison non-band vocalists who were always hanging around the Peckham studio.. Alfredo's outfit got a lot more jazzy when Noakes joined the crew..
