Last add to this: the listing identifies the dance band as Arthur Lally's,
with personnel identified.

OK, I'm done.

Just got a British Durium 78 with two tracks on it that show the
amazing?versatility of Carson Robison. We had been talking about how
underrated folks like Robison, Frank Luther, and Bob Miller have been, and
this disc shows proof of that, at least on Robison's part. Robison was
making short films in London at this time when he cut 3 of the Durium 78s
(Russell shows June/July 1932). There are two songs on the disc, separated
by Robison front announcing the second song. The first one is a casual dance
band tune, "Ev'rybody's Going But Me," with Robison sounding like any other
Dick Robertson-styled dance band vocalist. This is immediately followed by
Robison and his Pioneers (the Mitchell 

Bros. & Pearl Pickens) doing "Get Away Old Man," a classic Robison hillbilly
tune with harmonica and even a patented Robison whistling break. There
aren't many artists who could make that switch convincingly, much less do it
in one take at a single session! (I'd love to have seen the faces on
the?"stiff-upper-lip" unidentified dance band musicians when they heard the
second tune).

Looking at the Russell discography, Robison made a ton of recordings from
April to September while he was in London on such labels as Zonophone,
Broadcast Twelve, English Decca, Sterno, Eclipse, and Panachord. If this is
any indication 

of the quality of these sides, I'll be on the lookout for more. If anyone
has any laying around, let me know!
