ABird on Nelly's Hat
BSchool Strike

Maidie Scott sings 'Bird on Nelly's Hat' and 'School Strike' on HMV C616, a 12-inch coupling. The C-prefix HMV series for popular vocals indicates an acoustic-era pressing; 12-inch popular vocal issues are less common than 10-inch equivalents, and the early Zonophone-to-HMV transition period pressings of Scott carry modest collector interest.AI summary

AJohnny Morgan's Sister
BAt nine O'clock he got the Sack

Maidie Scott sings 'Johnny Morgan's Sister' and 'At Nine O'Clock He Got the Sack' on Zonophone 855, another very early Zonophone coupling from the same low-800s series as the Zon 821 in this collection. The 855 number confirms this as an extremely early acoustic pressing, almost certainly pre-1907.AI summary

AJohnny Morgan's Sister
BAt nine O'clock he got the Sack

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
