Four sides from the RKO Radio Picture "SWING TIME" with Fred Astaire singing AND tap-dancing accompanied by Johnny Green on piano with his orchestra. Titles are A FINE ROMANCE / THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT / PICK YOURSELF UP / THE WALTZ IN SWINGTIME. If you've read this far you know all about these records already. If you don't, someone else's copies of the same Brunswick records are posted on YouTube, go check them out for yourself! Hollywood casting director's notes on Astaire's first screen test: "Can't act. Slightly bald. But can dance a little." Indeed. Photo used here found on the internet, not included in sale. I'm an experienced 78 collector/seller: everything on my end will be done properly to ensure your satisfaction. I grade conservatively and according to VJM standards. I pack and ship safely: boarded sandwiches floated in ample packing material within 12x12x5 boxes. Shipping via Media Mail (USA), eBay Global Shipping (INTL.)
