Hello everyone,
I'm having another purge as I continue to downsize my collection of some 60+ years and, as a result, I will be listing many 78rpm jazz records over the coming weeks.
Some will be New Orleans and others will be  Dance Band and Swing recorded from the 1920s and 30s,40s & 50s. This listing is of 4 Louis Armstrong records all on the Parlophone label, the details being listed below.

R 2792   His Hot Seven   Jazz Classic Series No 8 & 7                                            Ory's Creole Trombone  /  The Last Time    Previously unissued.  Beautiful condition with a near silent background.                                                                                              EX +
R 2162   His Hot seven    Second New Rhythm Series No 111 & 112     Melancholy Blues  /  Wild Man Blues -  Plus His Original Washboard Beaters. Lovely condition with 2 or 3 of the smallest, faintest imperfections. A tiny trace of rustle on quiet moments.   EX
R  2704  His Orchestra    Miscellany Rhythm Series No 5 & 6              That's When I'll Come Back To You  /   Hotter Than That.  Three short, faint very fine lines. Otherwise tiny imperfections. Very, very quiet background.                                                            EX                                                                   EX
R  2135  His Orchestra    Second New Rhythm Series No 7 & 8     Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams        /  A Monday Date -  Plus His Hot Five.  Lovely condition with just a couple of very short, fine faint lines and very minor imperfections. Nr silent background. EX +         
All the records play quite beautifully, with no distortion, with a lovely quiet background , loudly and clearly and without any clicks. All are very black and very shiny. All are dead flat. 
  One has to appreciate that most vintage recordings, many near 100 years old, will have some background noise unlike the records listed here, often associated with the original recording and sometimes as a result of wind-up grams or ill matched styli. I now play my 78s on a Goldring GL72
 deck with a proper conical / spherical diamond 2.5mil profile stylus plus valve amplification. It keeps down the background noise and brings out the best of the recordings using hardware that was of the accepted pairing of the day. Wind-up grams are even more
 authentic, look great and have that wonderful nostalgic sound...but they don't half destroy the discs quickly. My diamond stylus is only good for 200 hours, whereas a sapphire stylus is only good for a mere 80 hours and a ceramic one for even less.
 One can spend a fortune on stereo play equipment and skimp for 78s but I've found that it's pound foolish.
This small selection offers as good a play as you are likely to hear from, many say, the greatest, quiet and without any nasties of any description. Dissatisfied - I'm sure you won't be, but I always offer a money back guarantee.  
This is a terrific quartet of records from the best and most fondly remembered performers of the day. All come with Parlophone sleeves in nice condition. Some age related browning with just one 1" tear on the inner at the rear of one sleeve.
All records will be bubble wrapped and dispatched in a purpose made cardboard record mailer. Please feel free to ask questions or request further pictures.
If personal collection is preferred, payment is by cash only on collection. Thank you.
Please, feel free to ask questions or request further pictures.
Kind regards,
Brian.
