Description
THIS IS AN ULTRA RARE ANTIQUE BERLINER GRAMOPHONE RECORD FROM 1901
"WILL GOODWIN" 's SONG
SOME MOTHER WILL LOSE A SON
RECORDED BY "MR HERBERT DARNLEY"
18th FEBRUARY 1901
LONDON
ONE-SIDED 7" BERLINER GRAMOPHONE RECORD
REPRODUCED IN HANNOVER
REVERSE SIDE HAS A SHARP IMPRESSION OF THE "WRITING CHERUB" LOGO
CONDITION - VG- NO SKIPS OR JUMPS BUT SOME BACKGROUND NOISE
THE "LABEL" IS ETCHED INTO THE SHELLAC AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO READ AS IT IS BLACK ON BLACK - HENCE THE PHOTO SCAN HAS BEEN VERY VERY ENHANCED TO PICK OUT THE DETAILS ON THE DISC. IN REALITY THE DISC IS JET BLACK RATHER THAN SHADES OF GREY!
The song was actually credited as written by WILL J. GODWIN AND FRED CONRAN and is set in the war (Boer Way?) as the Irish Fuseliers are about to go into battle. "Tonight some Mother will lose a son - some lassie will lose a lad." Piano accomp.
Herbert Darnley (born 1872 Chatham, Kent died 1947), a stage director and librettist, also composed: music-hall type songs including Mrs Kelly, The Beefeater (1898), My Sweet Face, Buying a House and Mary Ann’s Refused Me. His musicals His Majesty’s Guards (1900) and A Father of 90 (1902) were toured provincially, as were Mr Wix of Wickham (also 1902) which went to America where songs by Jerome Kern were added to it and, much later, Joan All Alone (1924)
