THIS IS A GREAT RARITY OF A 1933 Recorded Radio plug by Paramount Promoting Bing Crosby's New Hit Movie TOO MUCH HARMONY. A program of Bing singing the hit song from the movie.
What makes it rare is that in 1933, radiostations had not yet started to make airchecks for re-transmission of Programs. Early Examples are studio recordings of shows, that then got sent to radiostations for broadcast.
Such is this early set: 78 rpm in stead of the usual 33 Transcription speed, 12" instead of 16", and these are ONE SIDED VICTOR PRESSING with the embossed Victor Back, on blank labels with the OVAL VE orthophonic Mark.
1 12" 78 rpm record
Too Much Harmony:
Transcription No 1 - Victor No: 68587
Condition:
Very Good Plus PLus, clean, scuffs,
=====
A note on grading Victrola/ Pathe/ Shellac 78 rpm discs:
Pls note that I try to be extremely conservative and consistent in my grading. All records are graded with the same criteria, regardless of genre.
I noticed that my grading seems to be more conservative than what I have seen from other sellers, so here some notes.
Surface VISUAL GRADING:
EXCELLENT - clean and shiny, as new. E minus is the same, with light scuffing.
Very Good Plus - Clean, with a little more scuffing. Some grooves spots may have some light greying. Little if any distortion.
Very Good - a clean copy, some scuffing, some greying on a single groove or a few small groove bands. Enjoyable record, maybe light distortion on some top notes.
=> Everything up to here is a great and enjoyable record
Very Good Minus - May have areas of visible wear, may have some scuffing or lightly dulled surface. Still a great record, but ticks, pops and some distortion.
Good Plus - a worn and scuffed copy. May have other defects separately stated. Plays well, but with noise, may require filtering.
All other defects (if any: Chips, cracks, scratches, lamination cracks, label damage, needle digs) will be stated SEPARATELY.
Paypal or money order.
