Hey all,

 

Recently got a puzzling 11-inch Victor vinyl test - one sided - the label
says only 90056-1 - Orchestra - Wards - Hawaiianized Jazz.

 

Around the outer rim is inscribed PBS-90056-1 - Ka Lu Aa - N.W. Auer (or
Ayer).  I assume it dates from late 1935, going by the matrix.  It's a nice
big band with strings featuring a prominent Hawaiian guitar throughout, at a
snappy tempo. It ain't in the Victor Master Book..
