Dame Vera Lynn’s election records will be released for the first time 90 years after the first record.
The first records of the late singer were discovered when his daughter Virginia Lewis-Jones donated her mother’s record collection to the sound archive of the British Library.
The donations were made when Dame Vera was moved from her home in Eastern Sussex, where she lived with her husband Harry Lewis for 40 years.
With three hand -tagged silver aluminum selection records, Home’s Home, which was recorded in 1935 with a copy of Dame Vera’s first record, was also recorded with group leader Howard Baker.
The first record recorded after inviting Dame Vera to join the group in 1933 was only one of 100 copies.
Virginia said: “It is very nice to hear Ma’s voice from those early days at the beginning of her career.
“I felt that these would always be worth discovering, so I am absolutely excited that the selections that we have never heard of before can be implemented and that we can contribute significantly to what we know about MA.”
