"What'll you do?" is among the earliest gramophone records we sold that includes a vocal track.
Recorded for Woolworths by Vocalion, these Little Marvel records first went on sale in 1923.

At the time every record had to carry a halfpenny stamp to show that a copyright fee had been paid.

The record was intended to play at 80 revolutions per minute.  We had to get ourselves and
original 1920s wind-up gramophone to be able to play it. This is what your grandparents or
great grandparents might have danced to!
