The 78s - Decelith 10"



The two sides are labelled II/1 and II/2. This hints at a possible missing disc that would have been I/1 & 2.
Side one shows "? Title". This is in fact "Ida (Sweet as Apple Cider)" although it took me a while to identify it as it is quite an ornamented rendition. Does anyone recognise the arrangement?
Side Two should strictly be "I'll Remember April". The title is written in my father's hand. There is also a pencil note "not good, play fast". It is a rather mournful and bass-heavy performance but there is nothing to indicate the running speed is too slow.
