  1. Yesterday I was reading The Gramophone's review of this LP as I was looking at recordings of music by John Ansell. And today you post it :-)

    Thank you.

  2. I traced this yesterday in W.A.Chislett's section - he liked it - but the Ansell isn't my favourite.
    I can imagine the band played in a similar style in the 1920's..
    BTW -have Liza Lehmann's 'In a Persian Garden' in the 1917 album. Luckily - this has been commercially released: it looks like bits of Berliner's were re-used in my set!

  3. Great stuff. Many thanks, as usual, for some rarities n/a for years.

    1. Given the very unsatisfactory situation re: 'Donations' (& the Blogs, generally) I'm not particularly disposed to re-upload files - but as you ask - and this 'went missing' - here they are - I've converted the archived WAV's to FLAC's.
