Andy Russell 1/20/45 RARE 12" Transcription Acetates; Mel Torme / Mel-Tones HEAR








Lot of FOUR original 12" radio transcription discs; WWII era

Reference recordings: double-sided 78 RPM lacquer over glass acetates

Likely one-of-a-kind, this contains an early, previously considered "lost" performance of St. Louis Blues by Mel Torme and the Meltones

"The Andy Russell Program" complete, eight-part OTR old time radio broadcast from January 20, 1945

Guests also include Connie Haines

Visually graded VG++/NM; VG++/NM; VG+/VG++; NM/VG++. Only one label is still extant. As luck would have it, the side featuring the Mel-Tones (part four) plays the quietest. It is the third audio clip below:

Sound files are flat / no EQ, no noise reduction or other masking. What you hear is exactly what you get! You won't be disappointed!

I believe these might have once belonged to George "Bullets" Durgom, personal manager of both Andy Russell and Connie Haines

PLEASE NOTE that I do not sell dubs of any kind, under any circumstances. These clips are provided for demonstration purposes only. Sound transfers are the responsibility of the high bidder

My photos always depict the actual item(s) you are buying!




infinite.bizdom COMBINES LOTS TO SAVE YOU $

Shipping within the USA is $4.00 for your first LP. Combined shipping is an additional $1.00 per album

International Bidders: records are mailed either USPS 1st Class or Priority based on its value for insurance purposes. Either way, shipping is at cost plus a one-dollar handling fee (a PITTANCE!)




I offer a full 14-day money back guarantee on all items (excluding "as is" listings). Don't like it? Return it.

PLEASE NOTE: partial refunds will not be issued. This way you are either 100% satisfied, or keep 100% of your purchase price. Simple and fair!

 




 I take buyer feedback very seriously! Contact me BEFORE posting feedback if you have any concerns regarding your purchase. I've been buying and selling records for longer than I care to admit, and know what it's like being a victim of the Wishful Thinking Grading System, also known as the Fool's Goldmine Scale. Don't be surprised if you receive something "better than described"

Still, record grading is largely subjective; so in the unlikely event you're not satisfied with your disc, let me know. Please allow up to 48 hours for a response: my weekends are spent searching for more cool stuff!

Check the feedback: I've been selling on eBay for over ten years! In addition to infinite.bizdom, I am employed full-time to help run another (considerably larger) eBay operation that specializes in jewelry, pocket watches, and wristwatches. Bottom line: buy with confidence. I know what I'm doing, and am in it for the "long haul"

I appreciate your business!
