There's No Day Like To-Day, Fox Trot -- Mrs. Jack Hylton and Her Band with Vocal Refrain by Leslie Brian, Crown 1935 (UK)

NOTE: In around 1913, Jack Hylton -- who worked then as "singing millboy" at the North-Welsh seaside spa of Rhyl - met Ennis Parkes, who worked with seaside parties in Rhyl, singing, dancing and playing the piano. She was born in Douglas on the Isle of Man and began her career at the age of seven. They later married, probably in the early 1920's and remained married, despite having split up in the 1930's, until Ennis' death in 1957. Jack helped her establish her own dance band and adviced her, for promotional purposes, to use his famous name on the record labels.

The music is accompanied by slideshow of vintage photoes and posters of Rhyl, in 1900-20s
