 Very interesting! I wonder if this is indeed the 1938 Meistersextet (the "Aryan" version of the Comedian Harmonists), as on Electrola E.G. 6684, or whether these are the original Comedian Harmonists. They recorded old German folk songs like these in 1933. "Muß i denn, muß i denn zum Städtle hinaus" appeared in February 1933, just days after the Nazis came to power.

 Side A, with an new lyric, adapted by Fred Wise, Ben Weisman, Kay Twomey and Bert Kaempfert, became the song "Wooden Heart" by Elvis Presley in the film "G.I. Blues" in 1960 and was a US top 40 hit by Joe Dowell in 1961
