Vesta Victoria, the much-loved music-hall comedienne known for 'Waiting at the Church' and 'Poor John', sings 'It's Easy to Be a Lady' and 'Look What Percy Picked Up in the Park' on Zonophone 918, a very early Zonophone pressing in the 900-series. Victoria is one of the most collected Edwardian music-hall names, and early Zonophone pressings of her work are genuinely uncommon.
