[78-L] Decelith of Caruso

[bradc944 at comcast.net]

Seeing as how this is supposedly Reichsradiofunk, could it be perhaps a send-off of a soldier going to the front by his family?

Perhaps more like "Greetings with a woman and children screaming at her 
man at the front."  I wonder if the screaming kids had something to do 
with the song selection. "Goodbye to Hope......Goodbye, forever..." 
Little Mrs. Sunshine, she is.  Makes me think of Jones and Murray "If It
 Wasn't For You". I want to know where her man went when she said goodbye.

But this one has me a little puzzled; a wax decelith from the Reichs Rundfunk of Caruso. Certainly this has to be taken from commercial recordings, and while to have a decelith in one's collection would be nice -- provided that it can be shipped safely at all -- 20,000 Euros for what is essentially a dub??
