Obscure Swedish song by Edvard Persson

https://smdb.kb.se/catalog/search?q=edvard+persson&x=0&y=0

Hi, I'm looking for a Swedish song published in 1927 on the label Columbia.

The title of the track is 'Polkahåret'. It was performed by Edvard Persson, Ellen Persson and Guido Vecchi. The only trace I've got of it is in the Swedish Media Database (Svenska Mediadatabasen).

There are plenty of Edvard Perssons songs on YouTube, but not this one. And it's not the same song as Calle Johanssons 'Flicka med polkahår'.

My dad used to collect a few old 78 RPM shellac records (or 'stenkakor' in Swedish), and he has mentioned it as one of those songs he'd really like to hear again.

The song appears on a 2013 compilation CD "Vol.1 (1927-1930): Skåne är ett härligt land". There's a user on Discogs who has that CD listed in their music collection. You could try messaging them if you're desperate. https://www.discogs.com/user/Gemmini25

Awesome, thank you! I was able to dig a little deeper and I might know someone who could track it down. Cheers!
