1932 Rare Depression Era Louis Armstrong I've Got Rhythm / You Can Depend On Me.
This two sided Columbia Disc from the really dark days of the depression is certainly not very common.
Condition
The record condition is good on the "I've got rhythm" side and fair on the "You can depend on me" side. This is often the case with depression era records.
In 1932 the economy was at a standstill for a majority of the population. Records were a luxury, and by 1932, a luxury most could not afford.
This record is perfect to use on original equipment, which I demonstrate here as you can hear both sides of the record played on a late 1920s HMV 101.
When sold, the record will be packed carefully in a new box.
