The Goofus Five were an early jazz novelty group recording for Parlophone in the 1920s. 'I Wonder What Became of Joe?' and 'Poor Papa' are light novelty jazz sides from the acoustic era. The Goofus (a unique wind instrument) gave the group its distinctive sound. Parlophone pressings from this period survive in moderate quantities.
