Description

A nice find.

Jack Leon and his band with Al Bowlly on vocals on Piccadilly 796, recorded in June 1931.  These Piccadillys are hard to come by, and this is a fine copy.
A: Leave The Rest To Nature (E-)
B: I'm So Used To You Now (E-)


The record is graded using the VJM grading system, and was play tested using a Goldring L55 with a Stanton 500 cartridge and a 3.5ml TC stylus.

I have been collecting 78s for nearly 20 years, and will pack very carefully!  I am happy to combine shipments on multiple wins to save on postage costs.  Please request an invoice and wait for my response.  At the moment I will ship to the UK only while I get used to eBay's ways.

If you have any questions, please ask!

VJM grading guide for 78s: E+ Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E  Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.  
V+ An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V  Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
