[78-L] Near You by Francis Craig

[Taylor Bowie]

I recently purchased a copy of  Francis Craig and his Orchestra playing Near 
You b/w Red Rose.

Big friggin' deal,  right...we've all seen about 82 zillion copies of the 78 
rpm issue on Bullet,  right?

But this one is on....English Brunswick.  And it doesn't sound like any kind 
of a dub,  either.  And it plays way better than any of the many copies of 
the American issue which I've shuffled through over the years.

Can anyone explain how an American record from a small company would end up 
on a major English label like that?  Maybe it happened more often than I'm 
aware of,  but it seemed pretty odd to me.



Thanks from

Taylor
