Description
From The Bottom of My Heart/Melancholy Mood by Harry James with Frank Sinatra lead vocal.
Original 1939 Brunswick 8443 78rpm with original outer sleeve.
This is Frank Sinatra's first commercial recording. Record plays well with normal surface noise. No skips on either side. Would benefit from proper cleaning.
Small chip mark on side of record that does not affect play and is not located in groove. Looks like there is a small hairline mark at the beginning of side A that also does not affect play. Other normal play wear and scuffs present. Slight indentation in groove. I wanted to mention anything I could find as this is quite a rare recording. All in all, condition is fairly normal for a record about 78 years old now.
I would say a VG or VG- but again, both sides play well and proper cleaning would do wonders. Great scarce recording.
Will be packed extremely well and fully insured for safe delivery.
