xiphophilos 25th May 2023		Thanks for tracking this down and fixing it. Can't blame Chaliapine for recording and cashing in on the same songs twice. That kind of stuff was common practice in the 1920s anyway; I'm thinking about Irving Kaufman and Arthur Fields, but dozens of other examples could be named.



scrough 24th May 2023		Looks like Chaliapin recorded this twice, once for HMV and once for Victor, and presumably collected the fees twice :). So I've unlinked the two recordings, and updated this one.



Mike Gann 24th May 2023		It wouldn't be the first time that DAHR had something in error

xiphophilos 24th May 2023		The release date Dec. 1926 cannot be right, given that this was recorded in March 1927.



xiphophilos 24th May 2023		Rearranged labels chronologically per http://early78s.uk/hmv-record-labels-on-the-b-series-1912-1958/



Stephen Harris 11th Jun 2021		Added label images: Nipper in colour, different layout (e.g. no text on top edge)



Redpunk SUBS 8th Jun 2020		Added label scans with Nipper in colour.



Redpunk SUBS 11th Mar 2018		Added label scans with less writing at base, "Made In England" in centre of label etc.
