Description

A rare original recording on early Gramophone & Typewriter Co. Ltd. label of legendary music hall figure Dan Leno performing "I'm Waiting For Him To-Night" (a parody of "Queen of My Heart")

Condition (by Nauck's list standard): E-

Matrix 43R dates the recording to March 1903 - the first month of studio recordings of 12” records. Matrix 42 was recorded on the 19th, meaning this could also have been recorded on the 19th, but not before (so between 19th-31st). 44R was a different recording of the same title, issued first.

Below you can hear a short clip of the record, with 30mm stylus used for recording (best result):

NB the recording above has been "cleaned up" with post-processing noise reduction. If you would like to hear a clip direct from the record please get in touch.

Sound quality excellent, although has a slight "swish" between 2:20-4:20 due to the record being pressed off-centre.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

This record will be packed with extreme care in an oversize box with double-reinforced polystyrene stiffeners, along with additional packing chips to ensure the record stays immobile and fully protected. This additional weight and packaging size is reflected in the postage cost. Any inquiries for additional information, including photos of the packaging we will be using, are welcome.

Famously featured in the 2016 film The Limehouse Golem, performed by Douglas Booth as Dan Leno, as heard in the clip below:
