All of these songs are British pop songs of the 1937-38 period. Most are obscure, even among UK songs. Only a few even got issued in the United States--most notably "Gangway!" (title song from a Jessie Matthews picture) and "Home Town", (which is the only one that got some covers in the USA).

Just as "Radio Fun" featured comics and stories based on well-known (to UK audiences) entertainers, so this book's songs are associated with well-known entertainers and/or bandleaders.

Thanks for the added info, Netrap!  It is really good to receive a bit of 'background' to these one-off oddments.  I must confess I am familiar with only two or three of these songs and unfortunately I can't read music which might have helped to jog the old memory...  Thanks again for your input!  Melbee.

PS.  Just noticed the date of the of the Radio Fun that it was issued with -which is at the bottom of the front cover of this songbook.  [-see my original comment when uploading] 

Should have gone to Specsavers!!!
