I'm with Marek on this. I'm not an expert on the OM5. I found that
Barking Dog, Woof Woof, on YouTube. It is claimed to be 1917, but Amazon
has it as 1922, which sounds more likely.

It is not as jerky as most early white bands, but lacks the drive of the
ODJB.
Nichols, Wolverines and the Goofus Five sound very poor rhythmically
compared to Sbarbaro and co - much is down to his great drumming.
