The following record sounds incredibly advanced for a native British group of the time. It is an English recording, not apparently made by the Aco­ Vocalion combine, yet it was issued on two labels that normally drew on that repertoire. The same title on their sister labels, such as Guardsman, is from Aco, and is of no jazz interest.
