Description

Here is the classic and sought-after “Midnight, the Stars and You” by Ray Noble and his Orchestra with a vocal by Al Bowlly that was featured in the film The Shining starring Jack Nicolson.  The recording has become a cult favorite and, if the internet is to be believed, commands high prices whenever it is offered for sale.  In addition to catalog number, lead-off groove has this information etched into it: “OB5900,” a “2” and a capital “A.”   The flips side is “An Hour Ago This Minute.”   BE FOREWARNED:   This is not a mint copy.  It shows wear and has some minor scratches.   When I play "Midnight..." through on my equipment, the only imperfection I hear is a one slight tick .   Condition V+

NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades.  Still, it can be a subjective undertaking.  I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually.  Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
