Description
UK Columbia 78 3970. Laminated original issue of these legendary sides. Recorded in London, 1926 with the composer, George Gershwin, at the piano, improvising splendid and inventive accompaniments!
Condition: this is a stunning copy, grading E to E+...there can’t be many in this condition. There is a TINY edge chip (see photos). A few very light scuffs, NAP.
Postage includes careful packing: record will be packed in between stiff cardboard squares, wrapped with bubble wrap and packed with polystyrene ‘bits’ in a new box. Postage includes insurance up to £20, so the winner may choose to pay more for extra cover...
On 21-Nov-18 at 08:52:34 GMT, seller added the following information:I bought this amazingly good copy (which doesn’t have the usual ‘blasts’) from a dealer called Peter Machin in the 1980s. He told me that it had been used for a re-issue of these sides, though I can’t verify that. Many of Peter’s discs were in superb condition. For a while he had a 78rpm record shop in an antiques market in the Kings Road, Chelsea, near the Town Hall.
