Six Hottentots - Sometimes I'm Happy (Unusual Mimosa Issue!)
The Six Hottentots (as the Mimosa Dance Orchestra) play a spirited version of the popular 1927 tune "Sometimes I'm Happy", featuring a vocal by Irving Kaufman. This side was dubbed by the Crystalate Co from Imperial No. 1845, resulting in a rather unusual ending due to the constraints of the six inch Mimosa record. The full version of this can be heard at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBzmDtZqmoE .
