Description

You are bidding on the most difficult to find and rare 78 by Roy Fox and his band with Al Bowlly.

Fox had brought his band over the the UK but on their return to the US his previous vocalist Kenneth Allen's name was used on this record label in error. These sides are the first released of Bowlly with the Fox band.

The record condition is probably V++  and plays well. Early Deccas are not easy to grade. This was not a big seller at the time although the performances are really good. Don't miss this rare Bowlly!

On 10-Jun-15 at 08:47:24 BST, seller added the following information:

In response to a later question: This is listed as a rare Bowlly and plays much better than it looks. As with many dance records of this period, the record has many surface scratches. These do not interfere with the playing apart from the odd click here and there as you might expect from a well played record of 84 years of age. There is no blasting in playback caused by worn grooves. Bowlly's vocals on these two sides are better recorded than most of his early Deccas. It plays well. I have added another picture to the listing (not easy to get this close with clarity) of the grooves. Hope that helps.
