The late Brian Rust described this as one of the most exciting recordings made in Britain between the wars. In the early 1930s, Billy Cotton's Band put out some very hot music indeed, especially when they were recording for Columbia, and this is an excellent example. The band included Nat Gonella and Sid Buckman on trumpets, Joe Ferrie on trombone (before all three were poached by Roy Fox later that year), Syd Lipton on violin and Joe Gibson on string bass, right up front.
