0569 Roy Fox Ray Noble [The Golden Age of British Dance Bands vol 2] FLAC48 16(50.36)

Contributed by Dave_Bruce, who writes:-

Two LPs of classic British swing band recordings from the 1930s reissued on the World Record Club label, presumably in the early 1970s. Though well up to WRC's high technical standards, there are, alas, no personnel lists.

The album was one of a dozen or more WRC albums I found in a charity ship in excellent condition, all reissues of the élite British swing bands. If folk are interested in the others, I'll do my best to post them in due course though I'd like to get through the Ace of Hearts stuff first.
