Rare single-sided later vinyl test pressing of a 1936 Octacros master; the Bond Street Swingers were a smaller contingent from Tommy Kinsman's Fischer's Restaurant Band. Hot solos galore - including a violinist who took a leaf or two from Stephane Grappelly's book. E+ condition with slightly dull surface from tarnished stamper; plays very well with excellent sound quality.
