[78-L] Mystery record

[David Lennick]

I got a copy of that from Jim Hadfield, I think..if you can name one of the 
tunes, I can cross reference it in the British Dance Bands book.  Matrix 
numbers? Does it have an HMV style runout?

In the top half of the label where the company name usually appears, it says, "Daily Mail Mystery Record" and in the title area it says, "£1950 for naming the artists", (if the first character doesn't come through it's a Pound sign).  I have no idea how old this record is but it certainly isn't after the early '30s and that seems like a lot of money for a prize.  Each side contains a medley of popular tunes sung by different artists and some instrumental solos.  Each side offers that amount of money for a prize.  I'm sure people on this list would be able to identify all the artists.
