BC Hilliam and Malcolm McEachern, better known as Flotsam and Jetsam formed their duo in 1926. Remembered today as the precursors of Flanders and Swann, their amusing songs play on the contrast between the high notes of Flotsam and the basso profundo of Jetsam.
Included as "bonus tracks" are their two rare recordings made during World War II.
