Description

A charming 1932 Columbia 78rpm shellac record featuring The Bohemians performing two elegant early‑to‑mid‑20th‑century waltzes. The first side offers “My Dream Waltz”, a smooth, melodic dance piece with the light orchestral touch typical of the era’s popular ballroom ensembles. On the reverse is “Rose Mousse Waltz”, a graceful and romantic number with flowing phrasing and warm instrumentation, ideal for collectors who appreciate vintage dance music and classic waltz repertoire.

This disc is a lovely example of Columbia’s dance‑band output, perfect for enthusiasts of pre‑LP ballroom recordings, orchestral waltzes, and period dance music. A delightful addition to any 78rpm collection.

Columbia Dance‑Band Waltzes and the Ballroom Tradition

During the first half of the 20th century, waltzes remained a staple of British social dancing, and labels like Columbia regularly issued elegant orchestral arrangements to meet demand. Groups such as The Bohemians provided accessible, melodic dance music for home gramophones, dance schools, and small social gatherings. These recordings capture the charm of a period when ballroom dancing was central to everyday leisure, offering a glimpse into the musical tastes and social rhythms of the time.
