Hi Mike,

Saw your email but thought it probably better to reply here. Some info and leads concerning records on your third list:

Squadronaires "The Man Who Came Around"
This is on Decca F-7480. The correct title is "The Man Who Comes Around" and the correct artist credit is "The Royal Air Force Dance Orchestra". The band were not formally known as The Squadronaires until after the war. It appears to be included on the Flapper CD "Hits of the Blitz", which is available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hits-Blitz-Various-Artists/dp/B000026N3I

Carroll Gibbons "Goodnight Again"
According to Rust & Forbes British Dance Band discography, this is on Columbia FB-2547, and has vocal by Anne Lenner. It appears to be on the Memory Lane CD MLMCD037 "The Voice of Anne Lenner: Volume 2", which can be ordered through Dave Cooper's website: https://www.talking-shellac.com/british-dance-band-other-artist-cds

Phyllis Robins "Goodnight Children Everywhere"
The other side to this record (It's A Hap Hap Happy Day") is included on the 2019 Memory Lane CD MLMCD077 "Phyllis Robins: My Bluebird's Singing The Blues". It might be worth contacting Dave Cooper to see if he knows who provided the record.

Arthur Askey "Mister Brown of London Town"
UK release for this is HMV BD-951. Have you tried the Arthur Askey appreciation society?: https://www.facebook.com/groups/133117033760155/

I'll keep an eye out for the others on my travels.
All the best,
Peter

No wonder I couldn't find that Squadronaires track !!......That is really helpful and I have ordered the CD you mention......Tried to order the other CD from Dave Cooper but there is a fault on his page that means I am unable to order.....He also does not have a "Contact" facility on his page

Hi Mike, if you click the button saying "ML CD Order Query" then it opens a new email to Dave Cooper in your email client or browser. His email address is deejsee AT gmail DOT com. Just replace AT with @ and DOT with a full stop (I did that to prevent him getting spam, assuming it helps).

Yes, it’s a shame that Memory Lane don’t seem to do larger pressings of their CDs.

Very difficult record to find, she has another one called "Dreaming" which is just as difficult.
