Also on 78rpm Member since Apr 2012 1118 Points | F 1703 appears to be correct.
F 1786 is also correct:
Billy THORBURN'S THE ORGAN, THE DANCE BAND AND ME
H. Robinson CLEAVER, organ, with Billy THORBURN, piano and His Dance Band
F1786 CE10587-1 12.11.40 If Tears Could Bring You Back, wz. (Connor, Sherman)
Coupled with:
CE10588-1 12.11.40 I'll Never Make the Same Mistake Again, ft. (J.L.Smith)
Available from 12/40 to 2/43
vocals 1. Terry Devon, 2. Alan Kane
Funnily enough, Billy Thorburn also included the first track in a Waltz Medley on Parlophone F 1811. Just him at the piano with drums.
GERALDO and His Orchestra
F1889 CE10891 -1 19. 1.42 Do You Care? SFT. (Elliott, Quailing)
CE10892-1 19. 1.42 The man with the lollypop song, SFT (Petrillo, Ross, Shawn)
2/42 to 1/44
vocals - Dorothy Carless (10891) Jack Hunter (10892)
You don’t mention the vocalists on the others, so maybe you aren’t interested?
Do you have British Dance Bands on Record? There’s a free download of it here. It’s searchable too.
HMV BD 5742 is in there, with vocals by Harry Kaye. Recorded 16 April 1942. Coupled with “Who'll Buy A Rose From Margareeta ?” (Don Rivers vocal).
“If Tears Could Bring You Back To Me” is the title in that book.
“I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes” Jay Wilbur Rex R 10187 recorded 29 July 1943. “They'll All Be Coming Back, Bye And Bye” is the other side. Vocals by Alan Kane on both.
Panda Walk – Billy Cotton Rex R 10236 issued February 1947. “The Mission of the Rose” / “The Panda Walk” in my listing.
Anniversary Song – Billy Cotton Rex R 10238
Issued May 1947. The first side listed is “Something’s Wrong and That Ain’t Right”.
So that’s pretty good evidence for those records existing. I don’t have a Decca discography I can check for those titles.
