Description

A very rare 1957  78rpm release by Edric Connor on the Oriole label catalogue number CB.1362 in excellent condition housed in an almost immaculate ( regarding age ) original company sleeve . 

The iconic anthem was a favourite song on the United football stands in the late 1950s. It was recorded as an ode to the Reds and ‘Busby’s babes’. The song grew hugely in popularity ahead of the 1957 FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Aston Villa. Sadly, six out of the 11 players who started the game lost their lives nine months after in the Munich air disaster, when the plane carrying the team crashed after refuelling at Munich Airport, claiming the lives of 23 people.

 Please note that as a collector as well as a seller , I take great care and know how to pack 78's
