If you're having any fun with this page make a good job of it this Saturday and try out to-night's air stor, Jack Warner, singing "Are You Having Any Fun?" for Parlophone. On the other side is a vintage Warner number, "The Bunger Up of Rat Holes," There is only one better Warner song I know, which is "Rorlway Lanes" (Railway Lines). You could buy that, too.
If it's sweet singing you fancy, try little Celia Lipton (daughter of band-leader Lipton) at work on the two best "Babes in Arma" numbers... "Good Morning" and "Where or When" (Columbia).
If it's band, I can't suggest better than the combination of Carroll Gibbons and Irving Berlin in "It's a Lovely Day To-morrow" (Columbia).
