Ben Berlin Tanz-Orchester - Küß mich und morgen vergiß mich

This is a particularly interesting record. Not only it is rarely heard, to my knowledge it is also the only recording of this catchy German foxtrot. Ben Berlin (né: Hermann Bick) was born in 1896 in Reval, Russian Empire (presently Tallinn, Estonia) and died at an unknown date in Hollywood, USA. He was an Estonian bandleader, pianist, and arranger, touring all over Europe in the early part of the 1920s eventually settling in Berlin, Germany when he found work as the Vox recording company's Musical Director. In the decade of the 1920s, he recorded as leader of his own dance band, and also recorded some piano novelty solos. From time to time, some fine 'hot' soloists worked in his band, including Danny Polo, Billy Barton, Louis de Vries, and Ren T. Weiss. In 1933, When the Nazis came to power, he left Germany and first toured in Europe, and finally emigrated to the USA, where he found a job the the Hollywood studios. This excellent record was made in 1930.
