[78-L] Rekkids from other lands

[Taylor Bowie]

I've know for a long time that my record knowledge,  while good,  has huge 
gaps in areas which interest me,  in particular records and artists from 
countries other than the US,  UK and Canada.

Two questions for you more sophisticated and informed internationalists:

I have a wonderful Argetntine Brunswick of saxophone solos by one Sam 
Liberman.  Anyone know him or anything about him?  Its #2018  "Sax-O-Phun" 
b/w "Czardas"  Alto sax and piano.  First side is an entertaning version of 
he well known Rudy W novelty.   The flip is an amazing tour-de-force showing 
astounding technique on the horn...really,  really good stuff.  I don't even 
know the date of recording/issue.

Second question...anyone have or have  heard Chevalier's first record,  an 
HMV recorded in England in 1919?  And are those other early Chevalier 
records on Pathe (1920-21)  hill-and-dale or regular cut?

Thanks for any info.
