Description
Another bunch of 78s from the past. Time is still very much at a premium, so this may well be the only listing I have over the next two months. As before I will be listing records on a "rolling" basis over the next few days. So please do keep looking! In all cases these are my shelf copies; as explained previously, these are discs that just don't get played these days. As well as 78s, I still have the odd book and catalogue to go out, plus a few theatre programmes and musical papers. I have graded as conservatively as always. Whilst some of these look a bit "scruffy" all those I've play-checked play a bit better than graded. Good luck!
"There'll Be Some Changes Made/ My Syncopated Melody Man" on OKeh 40893.
A real rarity! Two superb and very rare sides by Red McKenzie with Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang. This copy looks to be V+, however despite its looks and a little surface noise, this copy does play better than graded (as is often the case with these Electric OKehs). For this reason I've graded at V+++ as it plays to this on my set-up here. (Look on my listing for its session-mate on Parlophone!)
A VERY SCARCE AND DESIRABLE ITEM - DON'T MISS OUT!
!!PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!!
POSTAGE and SHIPPING As a long-time collector and buyer myself, I am all too aware of how much it costs to pack and ship fragile 78s, and have never charged more than is necessary to meet that cost. To ship one disc to the USA works out at about $25, including the cost of the box. Obviously, a parcel with three or four discs works out cheaper per disc. I normally ship overseas at Air Mail, Small Packet rate. (I will ship via Surface Mail if asked, but this usually means you wait up to eight weeks for your parcel.....and, curiously, it's not that much cheaper!) As always, if anyone is concerned about shipping costs please contact me before the listing ends, and I'll do my best to help. FINALLY....PLEASE WAIT for my invoice before paying for your discs! The final shipping cost may well be less than Ebay's "standard" figure.
IN VIEW OF THE HIGH COSTS OF SHIPPING THESE DAYS, I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO HOLD DISCS AGAINST A WORTHWHILE PARCEL, PROVIDED PAYMENT IS MADE FOR SUCH DISCS.
