I've been doing some research on the popular song "Blue Skirt Waltz" and tracked it back to a Czech tune titled "Červená sukýnka" ("red skirt"). It was written sometime in the 1940s and likely debuted by R. A. Dvorský as the person who wrote it was a trumpeter in his orchestra.


I found a YouTube video with audio of a version by Dvorský with a description that (translated) says "Recording from Ultraphon from the late 1940s".


However, I can't find a catalog number or an exact release date. One auto-generated video on YouTube has "© 1943 Supraphon s.a." in the description, and Frankie Yankovic's recording of "Blue Skirt Waltz" was released in 1949, so the original recording was in that range.


Should I just add the song with a 1985 album containing the song as the release until we find the original release? I don't really want to create a work and leave it empty just to add the adaptation.

Thanks! I knew it had to be on there someplace but couldn't find it.
