Homo
Baby was a 6" record
produced by The Gramophone Company during the mid-1920s. All were acoustically recorded. The dance band items
are all by
an orchestra (i.e. no saxes or banjo) directed by George Byng, sounding
very old-fashioned for 1926.
However, the later dance records are believed to be directed by Bert
Firman, and so are likely to be by a proper dance band.
Numbering started at 1 and ran for about 54 issues. The sides were suffixed -C and -D. It is not currently known for whom they were made. |
My thanks to Frank Andrews and the late
Arthur Badrock in providing
the information for this page.
Thanks also to the following for additional details:
Robert
Girling, Chas Hippisley-Cox, Mike Jones
There are still a few gaps and I would be very grateful for any help in filling them.
