This 78 has been cleaned on our Pro-Ject VC-S cleaning machine and played through once on each side on a record player with a sapphire tip stylus
Original UK 10" Shellac 78rpm single. Company sleeve. Cat number Parlophone R2476
The cat no suggests an issue date of 1938, but the TT tax code embossed on the A-side label suggests it was pressed between 13th April 1943 and 9th April 1946.
A nice clean shiny example, with a couple of very light needle marks on both playing surfaces. It plays extremely well with light background crackle and normal shellac surface noise (see pictures)
Both sides credited to "Bessie Smith with Louis Armstrong (Trumpet) and Fred Longshaw (Organ)"
St Louis Blues / Reckless Blues
All of our shellac 78rpm records are sent well packed - sandwiched in hardboard, bubble wrapped and boxed for the ultimate protection to ensure they arrive with you in one piece
