Henry Hall & The BBC Dance Orchestra & Dan Donovan - Somewhere at sea (London, May 1936) (Columbia FB1409 mtx CA 15755) (78rpm) (Re-post by request)


The recording was made in London in May 1936 by the BBC Dance Orchestra directed by Henry Hall, with vocal by Dan Donovan. It is the official signature tune of RMS Queen Mary and Henry Hall is the director of the dance orchestra aboard this ocean liner.

Comparing to other ordinary Columbia records pressed in Britain, this one bears a special label designed to commemorate the ship's maiden voyage on 27th May 1936, sailing from Southampton to New York.
