Nice track.........they obviously had greater luck than the all black "Sonny Clay's Colored Idea" who were deported from Australia in 1928 when "police raided their rooms and discovered six of the band with six white women in various stages of undress and sobriety " !

@iainr222 Haha! Well this band had more luck, the Prince of Wales was a reported huge fan of this revue. Unfortunately this side of the disc has seen better days :(

This vibrant record showcases the magic of  '20s dance band music.
