Fred Elizalde plays his own composition - the title of which is unknown. It was recorded by Decca in 1933 and is being released for the first time.
The metal masters of two takes (takes 1 and 2) were retained by Decca and these were eventually pressed onto 10 inch vinyl in very limited quantities by Geoff Milne.
This is take 1.Unfortunately, the metal master had corroded by the time of this pressing, causing swish (especially towards the start of the recording). This degradation is the case with many other British Decca metal masters, which were almost certainly not stored correctly.
