Janusz Popławski & Orkiestra dir. by Olgierd Straszyński - Pedro, tango (Cz.Żak /Z.Drabik), Odeon ca 1939/40

NOTE: After the German invasion on Poland in September 1939, all Polish phonographic industry was annexed by the occupiers. The whole staff of Syrena-Electro, Jewish family-owned major record company in Poland, was in whole arrested and sent to a newly formes nazi-administered Jewish ghetto of Warsaw (where most of them were murdered). Other firms, whose chief offices were abroad (like Homocord or Parlophon) were stopped in their active production. Only Polish Odeon - whose headquarters were in Berlin - was for some time allowed to continue the record production. However - even that microscopic production was soon ceised, due to the shortages of shellack supplies. Here is on of such Odeon records, pressed during the first months of the Second World War in Poland. Lack of the catalogues makes the accurate dating impossible.
