Harry James
It's Been A Long, Long Time / Autumn Serenade

Columbia Records # 36838 


here's a FULLY PLAY TESTED original shellac 78rpm record from circa 1945 that's been cleaned and still has a good deal of shine to it with some light visual wear but nothing severe (no chips, cracks or really deep scratches and is in V+ condition according to VJM grading. 

it plays and sounds very good for an old 78 with no skips, repeats or serious issues, but does play with some crackle, pops, tics & typical shellac 'static'. the music is still fairly nice and clear. 

labels display well and have no stickers or writing.  side A label is in fantastic shape but side B label does have some visible spindle marks.  visually we would grade this as VG if graded like we grade LPs but in shellac standards, it's a fairly nice copy that plays well. 

comes with what's likely its orig'l Columbia company sleeve, which is in fairly nice shape but has some small tears on its inside edges


please see our multiple detailed photos
