What a great 78 from
CHARLES BROWN
Recorded on the very desirable SWING TIME record label. The record # is: 238
The songs are: MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY b/w LOST IN THE NIGHT
This record is in E+ condition... (visually graded - it looks played once or twice).
The labels are in excellent condition, with a radio station sticker and some paper missing (see photos)
A hard to find "well cared for" blues record. I have made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums!
They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.
PLEASE NOTE: EBAY Has no idea of the cost involved to package 78's for safe shipping... we will add on a handling charge of 3.00 for shipping supplies from U-LINE
THE GOOD NEWS IS... WE COMBINE SHIPPING ON ALL MULTIPLE RECORD PURCHASES IN THE USA!
