Description

Up for auction is one of the rarest finds you will ever encounter in the marketplace for music collectables!  I present for your consideration one of the most important historical pieces of musical memorabilia, the Frank Sinatra Harry James Brunswick 8443 78 rpm record from July 1939!  Appraised by the distinguished auction house, Christie's on television in May 1998 for at least $5,000.00, this particular item is a steal at a BIN price of $1585.00.  Of all the Frank Sinatra collectables this one is the most significant and important because Frank Sinatra arguably defined the American song book and what is now considered the jazz standards spanning from this beginning in July 1939 all the way through to Duets I and II in 1993 and 1994.  No other American singer has made such an impact with a career spanning 6 decades.  Therefore this item has been appraised at a minimum of $5,000.00 for its importance and rarity.  Pressed by Brunswick in New York, only 8 thousand copies were made and many copies were destroyed by normal wear and tear or by accidental breakage because  these 78 rpm records were not made of vinyl and can snap in half easily due to its ceramic like material.  Notice the images above that show the clean ridges of the recording with much less than normal wear and tear and even more rare is the label on BOTH sides that show almost no tearing, tape, glue, or other damage except normal yet careful handling by hand.  Moreover, this is NOT a jukebox piece that would have been through much more handling and wear.  Tell tale signs of that would have been chips and Scotch tape and either stickers or handwritten notes on the record label.  This item is free from all of that.  Therefore, if you want to invest in something that is certainly going up in value, it is a no brainer to acquire this.  This is like buying blue chip stocks that are expensive but stable in growth.  Get this one now at a DEEP DISCOUNT.  Bidding starts at $999.99 and BIN is $1585.00.  FREE SHIPPING AND INSURANCE!!!!
