78 rpm Shellac – Jack Harris – Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen / Once in a While (HMV)
New!
Description
A vintage 78 rpm shellac record on the His Master’s Voice label featuring Jack Harris and His Orchestra, performing two popular foxtrots of the dance‑band era: “Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen” backed with “Once in a While”. These arrangements capture the smooth, polished style that made Jack Harris a familiar name in British dance‑band music during the 1930s. The disc presents well for its age, with clean labels and good surface gloss. Light surface marks typical of shellac may be present, but nothing that detracts from playability or display. A strong example for collectors of HMV issues, dance‑band recordings or pre‑war popular music. A lively and atmospheric pair of foxtrots from one of the era’s well‑known orchestras.
Artist & Label Notes
