GALLOTONE    GE.970                                                               


A unique opportunity to buy an early record with a mouth bow (on both 

sides).  Haunting male solo voice on one side, additional murmuring 

and whispering responses on the other side. The instrument sounds 

pretty much like the mouth bow on Jimmy Driftwood's RCA Victor 

and Monument recordings: it is being played pretty fast.

Condition:   N-  (but clicks about 4 times on one side due to                           an open pressing blister, and has some label                           damage on both sides, see scans, due to                           inferior paper quality)
