Description
Records from the US and UK in this lot. They cover a range of about 50 years and include both descriptive (talking) comedy records plus funny songs by well known comedy recording stars from the past. Be advised that some are inappropriate by today's standards- but they reflect the thinking at the time they were recorded. Most have scuffs/light scratches and show their nearly 100 year age.
They have not been played unless a visual defect is seen which might affect sound quality. Any like that are noted in the list presented below. However, they are sold as is with no returns.
Records will be shipped via Media Mail at buyer's expense. They will be sent in recycled but sturdy boxes. There is no charge for packing or materials. Boxes/flats are from the Food Pantry where I volunteer. Other packing materials are bought new.
