xiphophilos 14th Aug 2017		So then the company probably had access to the original Odeon matrices that survived in Berlin but wasn't able to credit Zarah Leander for copyright reasons. This history of Odeon talks about what happened to the factory on Schlesische Strasse and the end and immediately after the war: http://archiv.phonomuseum.at/includes/content/lindstroem/kier_eng.pdf



Bob1951 13th Aug 2017		Yes, it is her voice! The top you tube video is almost the same recording. In fact, it may be the same recording. The record in the video may be slowing down just a little near the end.



xiphophilos 13th Aug 2017		"Heut' Abend lad' ich mir die Liebe ein" (Tonight, I'll invite Love to my place) and "Ein paar Tränen werd' ich weinen" ("I'll shed a few tears"), both written by Nico Dostal and Bruno Balz, were German hits by the famous Swedish actress and singer Zarah Leander, originally released in 1939 on Odeon O-4626 and Parlophon B 11303. Here she is with "Ein paar Tränen werd' ich weinen um Dich" (on Parlophon B 11303): The same song in clip from the movie "Lied der Wüste" (Desert Song): The label "Deutsche Heimat Schallplatten" (also simply "Heimat Schallplatten" or "Deutsche Heimat") looks like an American-based post-ww2 label reissuing German records to a German-speaking immigrant audience. That's why the label specifically mentions that the songs were "recorded in Germany", and that's why the word Film is not capitalized and followed by a period as if it was an abbreviation. Ironically, given this reissue of a Nazi film song from an anti-British propaganda movie, this label may somehow even be linked to the communist German Democratic Republic in East Germany. Other releases feature, for example, "Das Neue Deutschlandlied" by J. Becher (2021), i.e., "The new German national anthem", which can only be the GDR anthem, "Auferstanden aus Ruinen" (Resurrected from the ruins), and the B side of yet another release (2015) was allegedly recorded by the Dredner Altstadt Quartett (Dresden Oldtown Quartet) but in fact is the hit "Heimweh nach dem Kurfürstendamm" by Die 3 Travellers. Bob, can you tell us if it is Zarah Leander's voice on the record?
