Description

VERY OLD 7 INCH GRAMAPHONE RECORD SINGLE SIDED BY EUGENE STRATTON SINGING 'THE LILLY OF LAGUNA'
THE RECORD HAS A 5MM CHIP ON THE EDGE ON THE BLANK SIDE AND THE PLAYING SIDE LOOKS WELL WORN AS DOES THE LABEL WITH A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES ON. THE RUN OUT STRIP CONTAINS THE NUMBERS 5728 LONDON & 2-2445 MY RECORD PLAYER IS OFF FOR REPAIR SO I CAN NOT SAY IF IT IS PLAYABLE BUT WHAT A PIECE OF HISTORY TO OWN.
There is no cover unfortunatly

Lily of Laguna was written in 1898 by Leslie Stewart and performed by Eugene Stratton WHO WAS BORN May 8, 1861 –DIED September 15, 1918. He was an original black & white Minstrel of the time

DUE TO THE AGE AND RARITY THIS WILL BE SENT ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY SO IT IS INSURED BUT WILL BE VERY WELL PACKED

MY 1955 HMV RECORD PLAYER HAS COME BACK FROM BEING REPAIRED AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS RECORD PLAYS OK.
IT HAS NO BLANK LEAD IN BAND LIKE USUAL RECORDS AND SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THOSE EARLY 'TALKIE' FILMS YOU SEE ON TELE SOMETIMES.
QUITE A CATCHY TUNE REALLY. I THINK THIS RECORD IS BORDERING ON 100 YEARS OLD FROM WHAT I CAN FIND OUT ON GOOGLE SO IT WILL NOT BE PLAYED AGAIN.
THANKS AGAIN FOR LOOKING
