	mister_tmg Also on 78rpm Member since Apr 2012 1118 Points	Do you specifically want it on a physical format ie. CD/LP/78? Or will a digital transfer do? Bella Bambina can be heard here. Listen to Our Love Affair Home Sweet Home Again - Joe Loss & his orchestra HMV BD 5715 This appears to be on "Joe Loss & His Band" Flapper / Pavilion Records PASTCD 9782 Amazon link Who'll Buy a Rose for Margareeta - Nat Gonella Columbia FB 2806 Available on this CD set: Great British Dance Bands of the '40s Amazon link You could add these to your 'Wants' list on Discogs in case they come up? (I'm guessing you may have already done this! Though there are some I think you have neglected to add to your list.) I would also suggest creating a saved search on eBay so that you get alerts when the records are listed (it looks like Hey Little Hen was on there a few months ago). Also you could try advertising in Memory Lane - though it might be hard to get all the text in one advert. There's a Facebook group for The Golden Age of British Dance Bands, maybe some of them can help. Oh, and if the record is on here and listed as 'owned' by someone, you could message the member to ask if they'd be willing to sell their copy. You never know. But on the whole, these recordings do appear to be hard to find. Amazing how scarce some vintage British pop 78s are, from major labels.
