Elsie is outstanding

Her version was overshadowed by a few other artists’ recordings, but growing up, the elderly widow across the street played it many times on a Viva-Tonal - one of many period recordings in her closet. She studied in England before the war. I’ve been looking for this record (5122) for many years, to no avail. Lucky you!

Thanks! It took me about ten years to find it - it must be one of Carlisle's rarer Deccas.

@agkozak Are you recording these from the original vinyl?

[@agkozak]

From the original shellac, to be precise.
