The Goofus Five play "Poor Papa (He's Got Nothin' At All)", with solos by Bobby Davis (on alto sax and then soprano sax), Roy Johnston, Abe Lincoln and Adrian Rollini.

This is the British Parlophone issue; the side was originally released in the USA on OKeh 40624. This is an electrical recording, made using OKeh's own rather boxy-sounding TrueTone process, which was abandoned in late October 1926 when Columbia took over the company.
