Billy Merson on Famous 92 — 'The Spaniard That Blighted My Life' backed with 'Oh You Beautiful Doll' (Charman) — is especially notable because 'The Spaniard' is the song Merson wrote and made famous, and this pressing on the obscure Famous label is earlier and harder to find than his more common HMV or Columbia versions. Famous is an untraced or very rare British marque; catalogue number 92 is low.AI summary
Famous 92 Music Hall
Billy Merson on Famous 97 — 'The Bandits' and 'The Gay Cavalier' — is another coupling on an obscure British label. Famous is an untraced or very rare marque, and as with the Mara pressing elsewhere in this collection, Merson on an unknown small label is considerably more interesting than his standard issues.AI summary
