Description

This is a genuine, antique Victor 78 rmp record in a period paper sleeve.  The vintage recording from 1910 by Victor Talking Machine Co of Camden, NJ  features John Barnes Wells and the Hayden Quartet performing "Sweet Genevieve" on side A and Harry MacDonough singing "Where the River Shannon Flows" on side b.  Discogs notes that John B. Wells was a popular American Composer and singer  noted for staring in the Wizard of Oz in 1903 musical theater.  The label describes the record as a "tenor with orchestra".  The 10" 78 is shellac, Victor #16440, in an early Victor paper sleeve.  I inherited this gramophone record more than 35 years ago from the original owner.  It was never played by my family so I don't have any idea if or how well the record might play now.  It seems to be in great shape for its age although it does need cleaning.  As we inherited many Victor records from the same individual, I don't know if the sleeves were ever switched with another record.   The record is sold as is.
This would make a neat framed gift for someone who loves a Genevieve or for anyone who enjoys vintage Big Band era music.
