Description
"Eldorado" was a musical play starring Mimi Crawford that opened in Daly's Theatre in London in September 1930, running for just 93 performances. The show was not a great success and did not produce any hit songs that became more widely known, but despite this the score is quite tuneful and Percival Mackey's Band does it full justice in this 12" Columbia recording. There is also a really fun vocal by Maurice Elwin on side 1! Sales of this record were possibly quite limited so I was glad to have eventually found a copy recently.
