Rare 78 rpm record, label Decca F.7265, WW2 comedy song
FLANAGAN AND ALLEN
A side: Run, Rabbit, Run
B side: The washing of the Siegfried Line
In E condition
Run Rabbit Run
Sung by Flanagan & Allen
This song was written by Noel Gay for his show 'The little Dog Laughed' which opened in October 1939. In typical Flanagan & Allen style they changed some of the lyrics to poke fun at the Germans
We're Gonna Hang Out The Washing On The Siegfried Line
Sung by Flanagan & Allen written by Jimmy Kennedy & Michael Carr.
The Siegfried Line was originally built as a defense system by Germany during World War One and consisted of numerous bunkers, anti tank traps and an extensive network of tunnels. The lyrics implied that the line would provide as much defense as a washing line and as such it was no defense against the allies
The postage reflects the packaging needs due to the brittle nature of shellac 78rpm
I use the VJM grading for shellac records
N (78). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78). Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, few light scratches.
V+ (78). V+ is an average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V (78). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy greying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
G- (78). Music still prominent, but wear and scatch damage extensive.
F (78). Most of music remains audible over surface noise, but listening now uncomfortable.
P (78). Unplayable.
