Produced during the 'Royal Blue' era of Columbia Records, this disc represents the high-fidelity engineering for which the label was known during the pre-war period. The record is a 10-inch format designed for playback at 78 RPM. It is a fantastic piece for collectors of early jazz, dance band music, or novelty orchestra recordings, capturing the unique acoustic textures and instrumental arrangements of the early 1930s.
