Bobby Sanders, with Gelder’s Harmonic Six. 1929.
‘That’s You Baby’ (Gottler, Mitchell & Conrad).
Bobby Sanders.
from “Fox Movietone Follies”.
Bobby Sanders was recording with Henry Hall & the Gleneagles Hotel Dance Band shortly after this date.
This record is the ‘In House’ label of Curry’s Ltd, the British multiple retailer of electrical appliances still trading today.
Earlier Curry labels refer to ‘Curry’s Cycle Stores’ but by this time the store was selling domestic household goods too;Wireless sets and Gramophones as well as cycles, perambulators and motor scooters.
The Curry label seems to have been taken in the main from Piccadilly record pressings, though I do posses a Herman Darewski Parlophone record which found it’s way on to the Curry label?. Piccadilly ceased trading in April 1932, did the Curry label end at this point I wonder?.
A good tune this, from an early Talkie, accompanied by Geoffrey Gelder’s Harmonic Six.

I have noticed that in Korea, it seems to be easier for Americans at least to find plenty of imported goods from back home to satisfy their homesick palettes. However as a Brit it seems that we are not so lucky. I can only dream of finding a decent brand of British tea or UK made Cadburys Dairy Milk on the shop shelves. Whilst I am not one for condoning free advertising for companies in this blog entry, I do want to tell you about an amazing website I have been introduced to by one of my Korean co-workers. If you come to Korea to teach English you will usually be set up with in your apartment with various essentials such as a rice cooker in your kitchen, plus of course various furniture such as a bed and a sofa. However you might find that you need to purchase some odd extras like err.AN OVEN! Yeah you heard right! Koreans dont generally have ovens in their own homes.
