Description

About five years ago I started looking for a 78 of Run Rudolph Run. The first one to turn up (this one, described as E) played well enough, but E it ain't. Another one eventually turned up, another $100 or so down the pan, it was described as the first one but, again, E it ain't! I've now received a third one, which is marginally better than the first two, and have decided to try to sell the first two. This (all blue label) one looks OK in the photo, is actually covered in scratches and scrapes (mercifully, only slight greying) and plays well enough. All collectors are aware of the cost of bringing a 78 from the States, so this must be some kind of bargain at £25 buy-it-now! B side is Merry Christmas Baby. The music is unbeatable - just ready for Christmas! Free postage in the UK, where it was never released on a 78.
