Description

Frank Sinatra: Frankly Sentimental 78 RPM Box Set Columbia C-185 1949 EXC

I tend to avoid 78s, as I've seen entire basements full couldn't be given away, but a) I've never seen a set this well preserved, and b) this is Frank.  No rips, stains, nicotine, mildew, split corners, etc--very clean from start to finish.  Cover has some rub marks and light impressions, spine is as new with bright lettering, inside covers and sleeves are still bright and clean, textured spine and lettering are excellent.  Wooden down with metal reinforced mount points inside. 

The record labels and runout areas retain their original sheen, and I really see no evidence of use or abuse on the playing surfaces.  Body and Soul has a surface crack that doesn't go very deep.  Unfortunately my Thorens doesn't have a 78 setting, or I'd play test all sides, but by the looks of some of the other discs, it looks like I'd be the first to do so.  If you disagree, all return rules apply.

Any questions at all, please ask.  Catalog/track listings below:
