Artist/Title: Tommy Tucker Label/Cat No. : Crown 3497 Format: Shellac, 10", 78 RPM Country: USA
Tommy Tucker (1903-1989) started out as a bandleader in North Dakota and eventually got to California in about 1933 where he made his first records for Crown. He recorded “Blue Prelude” and “Good Evenin’, Mr. Nightingale” for the label in May of 1933. His biggest hit was “I Don’t Want To Set the World on Fire” on Okeh in 1941.
Plays right through with typical surface noise.
The 78s I am selling are not classed as mint condition, they have all been played and well loved, I test play them all and can guarantee they will play right though although have typical surface noise, I am playing them on a 1950's Dansette Major though, so probably not getting best sound out of them.
78s are notoriously fragile, and have survived over 80 years, so I pack very carefully. Each 78 is covered in sandwiched between 2 cross laid 12" cardboard stiffeners, wrapped in bubbled wrap and sent in a 12 x 12 x 6" double skin box with more void packaging. The extra packaging means that I to have charge slightly higher postage prices for 78s, but rest assured that the main things is that your 78 reaches you fully intact.
Due to the fragility of 78s, I like to only send these to UK addresses. If you are outside the UK and want to buy this then please contact us first to discuss your options.
I can send 3 or 4 78s for the same postage price and will discount postage for bulk purchases. If you buy more than 1 item then please wait until you have received a combined invoice from us before paying, as Ebay will not apply the discount automatically. You also get a percentage discount on purchases of more than one item.
