Yep, Early 1950's release as on our "Original Recordings" page, search under Van Eps... you can find five parts of an interview with Van Eps and all the other music tracks too."
"In 1951 or 1952 (I can't remember) Van Eps put out a DIY set of recordings with his son. This looks to be from the box set of records but issued in London."
Unusual Van Eps disc...
Currently being laid low with Covid I have just about enough brain to get round to cataloguing some of my 78's and I've come across something curious.It seems to be an unlabelled Fred Van Eps of Dell Oro b\w Ragtime Oriole and was Issued by TH Edwards of 119 Forest Rise in Walthamstow, London.Does anyone know anything about it?Could it have been from a club or an unofficial importer?…See More

GR Tanfield - a Sheffield coincidence...

Much to my delight it lists one GR Tanfield of 83 Sharrow Street.Sharrow Street is where I now live! What are the odds?Any memories of Mr (I'm assuming it was a Mr) Tanfield?…See More
