The tracks on this CD date from the period 1902 - 1907. During this time, the recording company which later became HMV was named
The Gramophone and Typewriter Ltd. For the delight of purchasers of their discs, the company had assembled a roster of top artistes and lesser known stars who recorded popular songs from the Music Hall.
Ranging from Alec Hurley, (who later married Marie Lloyd) via Malcolm Scott (Female Impersonator), to Kate Carney, (Coster Comedienne) this is a cornucopia of Edwardian Music Hall
