Description
LIKE HIS CONTEMPORARIES Enrico Caruso and Bert Williams, SIR HARRY LAUDER (1870 - 1950) began his recording career in 1902, and soon was immensely popular with record buyers, who couldn't get enough of the canny Scot. He toured the world with his unbeatable act, packing theaters wherever he went.
UNLIKE Caruso and Williams, Harry Lauder lived well into the electrical era of recording. These four twelve-inch sides were made in 1926, with the newly-fangled Western Electric system, and fully reveal his Highland charm, and the beauty - even majesty - of his stage act. He still was in his prime!

*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
