Maidie Scott performing 'Two Little Boys and the Apples' and 'Being a Lady — I Can't' on the VocX label, catalogue 9004.

An unrecognised artist on an obscure label warrants investigation.AI summary

Maidie Scott sings 'Bird on Nelly's Hat' and 'School Strike' on HMV C616, a 12-inch coupling.

Zonophone 821 Music Hall
Maidie Scott was a Scottish music-hall comedienne and singer who recorded prolifically for Zonophone in the Edwardian period. Zonophone 855 is a low catalogue number placing this among her earliest sides, probably pressed around 1903–1906. Scott had a loyal following in the halls for character songs of exactly this type, and early Zonophone issues on the single-sided format are becoming harder to find in playable condition.AI summary
