IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT POSTAGE AND PACKAGING DISCOUNTS ON 78rpm RECORDS

For the UK the P&P prices on the listing allows 5 shellac 78's to be sent in one package - so the more you buy the more you save!

eg. 5 x 78's to the UK and you pay just £5.40 (Hermes)

P&P to Europe is as per listing + £2.00 for each additional 78

and P&P to the rest of the world (Outside of Europe) is as per listing + £3.00 for each additional 78

If you are unsure how much you will pay (or your country is not included in the listing) then please ask before bidding or buying, and we will be happy to let you know exactly how much P&P you will pay.

This 78 has been cleaned on our Pro-Ject VC-S cleaning machine and played through once on each side on a record player with a sapphire tip stylus

Original UK 10" Shellac 78rpm single. Company sleeve. Cat number Parlophone R643

The cat no suggests an issue date of 1930, but the DT/TT tax code embossed on the B-side label suggests it was pressed between 15th April 1942 and 9th April 1946. The "D" has been over-embossed with an "X", suggesting it was sold during the TT tax period (13th April 1943 to 9th April 1946).

A nice clean shiny example, with a couple of very light needle marks on both playing surfaces. It plays extremely well with light background crackle and normal shellac surface noise (see pictures)

All of our shellac 78rpm records are sent well packed - sandwiched in hardboard, bubble wrapped and boxed for the ultimate protection to ensure they arrive with you in one piece
