I agree, I prefer the Jack Hilton version. I assume it's the Decca recording. Both records were recorded in 1933 so I would have thought they would be similar as far as frequency response goes. However the Jack Hilton version drops off sharply above 1kHz whereas the Rex version only drops off above 3kHz. Maybe Jack Hilton has suffered the low pass filter to reduce the noise.
