Comment by Gill Sans SUBS:

This CD plays many excellent recordings from the era of 78s, beautifully transferred by David Michell, and with a subtle hint of 'Enhanced Stereo' added. Sadly, no details are given of the original 78s from which these tracks are transcribed, dates of recording, dates of release, or for the most part, of accompanists, orchestras and conductors. It's no use asking Shazam, they come up with wildly irrelevant nonsense.

This is a more sprightly rendition than the earlier recording, in keeping with her intention to support British morale during the War. There is no posting of this on YT, all there being the slow, lugubrious performance.
