Richard Tauber - Speak To Me Of Love/Macushla, Parlophone RO 20509

Macushla is an Irish song copyrighted circa 1910 with music by Dermot MacMurrough and lyrics by Josephine V. Rowe. The title is a transliteration of the Irish mo chuisle meaning "my pulse" as used in the phrase a chuisle mo chroí (pulse of my heart) meaning "darling" or "sweetheart". 
"Parlez-moi d'amour" is a song written by Jean Lenoir in 1930. An English translation was written by Bruce Sievier (1894, Paris – 1953) and is known as "Speak to Me of Love" or "Tell Me About Love". Lucienne Boyer was the first singer to record the song and she made it very popular in France, America, and the rest of the world.

"Macushla was recorded on 14 July 1941, and Speak to me of Love on 19 August 1941. Both titles were recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
The record was released in March 1942."
