1. Other extent, physical details information: 1 audio disc : shellac, 78 rpm ; 30 cm in diam.~2. Sound recording dates from Chotem's overseas service with the RCAF, ca. 1942-1945, during which time he performed as a duo pianist with Kenneth Bray.~3. Title taken from the label on side 2 of the disc, on which is typed 'Prog. 9 / RCAF "[illegible letter]" Debs Concert Party'. Pre-printed text of label: 'Overseas Recorded Broadcasting [Service] / "Services Calling" / ... Produced by the Navy Army and Air [Force] / Recorded for Ensa / Not for Sale'. An earlier label that has been partially pasted over includes the typed text "Canada Calling", but this title is apparently not relevant to this sound recording. Relevant labelling from the other side has been lost. The inner edge of side 2 bears the etched reference number ENSA 1201. The inner edge of the other side of the disc bears the etched reference number ENSA 1204.~4. Jamaican Rumba and Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing in a Hurry are on side 2.~5. The vocalist who performs Arthur Murray Taught Me Dancing in a Hurry is possibly named L.A.W. Cahill or Kay Hill.~6. "L.A.W." possibly stands for Leading Aircraftwoman, a rank in the RCAF Women's Division.
