Description
Hello again, fellow 78 buffs. I'm back after a three-year hiatus (just got laid off again !) with numerous lots of ten-each 1920's jazz and dance band 78's, along with some interesting singles I'll be listing over the next couple of weeks. There'll be at least some occasional jazz and scarce label items mixed into the multi-lots, and some nice jazz, blues, and hillbilly single listings, so be sure to scan them thoroughly to ensure that you don't miss out on something you need for your collection. Please bear with my sometimes lengthy item descriptions; I love these old records, and this is about the only place I get to talk about them ! I'll have the shipping total after the auction concludes (depending on combined shipping and/or your election of either Priority or Media Rate shipment), but I promise I'll keep shipping at no more than actual cost to us.
AH ! NON GIUNGE: MISS EDITH HELENA, on Monarch 2396 from c. 1903, I'm guessing. Miss Helena sings a selection from the Bellini opera "La Somnambula", accompanied by piano. It is not "announced" at the beginning, in case you're wondering. Music plays fairly clearly and strongly (especially for such an early record !) over light-to-moderate, slightly swishy hiss. The labels are slightly faded, and someone wrote "June 1903" in white ink of some kind on the label, as you can see.
