Whit Cunliffe was a popular Edwardian music-hall and variety comedian with a broad recorded output. This Regal pressing (7048) couples 'Tight Skirts Have Got to Go' with 'You Must Have a Night Out Now and Then' — typical of his topical comic style. Regal was a mass-market British label and Cunliffe's records are common; this is a pleasant period piece rather than a rarity.
