Found it..it's Hylton, June 22, 1925. Per Rust-Forbes, matrices Bb 6244/6 were 
recorded, 3 takes each of Ah-Ha! and Why Don't My Dreams Come True, all sides 
rejected, and 6245-2 "Feelin' Kind of Blue" was issued, HMV B-2072. Next Hylton 
session was June 30th, all sides issued (Bb 6269/71). If someone wants to 
search for matrices 6247 through 6268, more dance band sides may be among them. 
"This is the first electric HMV recording" is right above the June 22/25 
session listing.
