The Best Of Frank Stokes - Classic Recordings of the 1920s

~ Release by Frank Stokes (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

This was compiled from rare old 78s, and the engineers note that the originals were bad recordings and the result, though wonderful, is not up to their usual standards.
