Description for PATHE 14" VERTICAL CUT 78 RPM** RECORD #2215
Artist: Italian tenor ARISTODEMO GIORGINI sings (in Italian?) on both sides, with orchestra accompaniment.
86414: I PAGLIACCI (Leoncavallo): Ridi Pagliaccio**
86415: LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR (Donizetti): "Fra poco a me ricovero"
Remarks: 78opera.com states this was recorded by Pathe in Milan, in 1914, then adds a question mark after the year. **The collector added "87.80" to both labels in red grease pencil, which may mean that's what he decided the RPM should be. He also added "Vesti la giuba" to the Pagliacci side.
Giorginni sang at many of Europe's great opera houses. He never sang at the Metropolitan Opera, but did sing with the Chicago Opera.
Condition: This is a pretty record. There are no scuffs or scratches.
Sound: Because of it's size and format, I cannot test-play this record.
Label: Etched labels with yellow-ish paint that has not faded.
Sleeve: There is no sleeve with this record.
BECAUSE OF THE EXTRA PACKING NEEDED FOR THIS RECORD, HANDLING FEES ARE $4.
Records are graded using eBays’s grading scale, based mostly on the record’s surface appearance. Grading is conservative but subjective. Records are only moderately cleaned for photos and testing. Sound conditions are detailed above, and only very poor (or very good) sound may affect grading. Labels and sleeves are not graded; see photos for those details. Records are tested on an inexpensive, but modern, Crosely portable phonograph. *Sometimes a small weight (1.5g) is added to the tone arm to enhance playback and tracking.
MINT: A new record, sealed, or possibly never played.
NEAR MINT: A used record that looks new -- shiny -- with negligible wear.
EXCELLENT: May have some light scuffs and/or scratches, but still has most of its shine.
VERY GOOD PLUS: Has some wear and may appear a little cloudy with light scuffs or scratches, but still has some shine.
VERY GOOD: Record is quite cloudy, and/or has a few deeper scratches.
GOOD PLUS: Record looks very cloudy, and has a deep scratches or other flaws.
GOOD: Record is very worn and gray, scratched, or flawed, but is still playable.
PLEASE READ OUR POLICIES
- DO NOT FINALIZE PAYMENT BEFORE RECEIVING AN INVOICE! This will save you money, especially if you're buying more than one item (combined shipping). Insurance or signature confirmation are paid by the buyer at their request, and cannot be added after payment is finalized.
- We give multi-item buyers two weeks shop, dated from the first purchase, then payment is expected, unless the buyer requests more time; three weeks at the maximum, please.
- We pack items very carefully using new materials (check our feedback), so there is a $2.25 handling fee for domestic shipping. This fee may increase, depending on the size of your order, or if noted in the description.
- We purchase our shipping labels from eBay, which automatically sends shipping information -- including tracking number -- to the buyer.
- Domestic default shipping is by USPS Media Mail.
- International shipping is by USPS First Class International Mail (up to 4 pounds in weight), or USPS Priority Mail International for higher weights. Handling fees for international buyers are waived. Insurance is not available for First Class International, but is for Priority Mail (for most countries).
- International buyers: WE WILL NOT CIRCUMNAVIGATE CUSTOMS OR DUTY LAWS, but we will note on the label that the contents are “used, second-hand record(s)," and specify country of manufacture, if known. ANY IMPORT FEES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
- We will refund purchase and original shipping fees if you are not happy with your record, and give you 14 days after receiving the item to request a refund. Return the item in its original packaging. We do not give partial refunds.
- WE DO NOT REFUND FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE OR LOST PACKAGES. If in doubt, buy insurance. Be aware that postal insurance only covers the value of the item(s) purchased, not shipping fees. You will be required to prove damage to make a claim.
- Finally, USPS will not ship to Ukraine. Russia has very restrictive import regulations on merchandise purchased from foreign websites. China, Italy and Argentina can also be problematic, and there may be delays at customs offices. Please contact us, and your local import or postal office, for further details.
All the records we list come from the estate of Dr. James M. Kinney of New Windsor, Maryland, one of the East Coast’s largest record collectors.
