I found a website that stated Jay Wilbur & His Gang released a record in 1942 with the title "The First Waltz"......No catalogue numbers available.....Can anybody throw any light on this at all ?
Seems an odd tune for Jay Wilbur's band to record. I know he did produce some solo piano records (which would not be in the British Dance Band discography), and also conducted various light orchestras (although I believe only after the war).
1) The Group name is fairly specific, but
2) Jay Wilbur did record to "budget" labels under different names
3) Jay Wilbur etc often side credited as accompaniment to a named person/s
