The Laŭjara Katalogo de Muzikaj Diskoj en Esperanto describes this as a 12-inch shellac record, although the Gramophone Company Discography lists it as a 10-inch. It shows that two takes were recorded of matrix BA-107 ("En la drinkejo, I") and three of matrix BA-108 ("En la drinkejo, II"), and that take BA-107-2 was issued with catalogue number AM2152. It seems reasonable to assume that one of the takes of BA-108 was the B-side.
The songs are all Hungarian folk songs, given with the original Hungarian titles but presumably sung in Esperanto translation.
Sárossy recorded 33 sides for HMV (the brand name of The Gramophone Company), all in 1928 and 1929. The Enciklopedio de Esperanto states that two records of his songs had been released by 1934; it's unclear what the other one was.
