SAVOY ORPHEANS

"COPENHAGEN"

"HAUNTING MELODY"

HMV B. 1954

"E to EE-"  CONDITION

( generally in "E to EE-" condition with several moderate rubs / scuffs and multiple light surface scratches. "Copenhagen" plays distortion free with occasional clicks and pops - the left channel plays noticeably quieter. )

The Savoy Orpheans, recorded in Hayes Middlesex, January 1925

"Copenhagen" was introduced and popularised by Bix Beiderbecke with The Wolverines, 6 months earlier. This is a HOT and rare side by the Savoy Orpheans following the Wolverine's arrangement, with excellent solo spots.

Rarely seen in this condition - Don't miss it!

Over the next few weeks I will be offering some more Al Bowlly records, plus a superb selection of Ambrose & His Orchestra, The Rhythm Maniacs (Lally) and The Savoy Hotel Orpheans. Also keep an eye on my listings for a very fine crop of 8" Edison Bell Radios, 8" Plazas, and many other interesting 78s, all in great shape!

NEW UK P&P RATES

In accordance with Ebay's new mandatory P&P policy I am now offering free shipment within the United Kingdom. 

All UK Buyers will be asked to consider a handling charge of £5.95 on the first record purchased - any additional records purchased and shipped in the same parcel will be sent completely free of charge.

I can safely pack up to 20 x 78s in a single parcel. Assuming that the handling charge is paid on the first record then the individual cost of shipping a 78 will decrease significantly if a larger quantity of records is purchased. 

I am willing to hold records so that a larger parcel can be made up but all records must be paid for at the time of purchase. Please ignore the automated Ebay invoice and wait to receive an invoice for the combined shipping costs before sending payment.

 INTERNATIONAL P&P RATES

International Postage and Packing charges for 10" 78s are as follows:

1 Record   EU = £ 8.00,  USA = £12.00

3 Records  EU = £10.50,  USA = £18.50

4 Records  EU = £11.75,  USA = £21.75

5 Records  EU = £13.00,  USA = £25.00

 All international postage rates quoted are Royal Mail Airmail (Small Packets). I am willing to hold records so that a larger parcel can be made up but all records must be paid for at the time of purchase. Please ignore the automated Ebay invoice and wait to receive an invoice for the combined shipping costs before sending payment.

INSURANCE  

All of the above UK and International P&P rates include the Royal Mail compensation limit of up to £39.00 for loss or damage (compensation does not include postage costs). Additional insurance is available on request at extra cost; please ask for further details. I will not be held responsible for loss or damage to inadequately insured parcels.

All records are shipped in brand new, custom size double wall thickness cardboard boxes. Records are securely packed in bubble wrap and surrounded by foam pellets. I have shipped many hundreds of parcels all over the world with no reported breakages.

 GRADING

 I grade conservatively using the following system:

N  As New with no evidence of play. 

E+  Full gloss surface; looks as New with a very few light handling marks. 

E  Very glossy surface with no visible signs of wear; may have some extremely light surface scratches or marking which should generally be inaudible.

E-  Clean, reasonably glossy surface but may have some minor scratches and first visible signs of wear.

V+  Surface will have some gloss but the record will have moderate wear and may also have some moderate surface scratches and scuffs.

V  Not much gloss remaining, moderate to heavy wear with scratches and scuffs.

V-  Dull surface and likely to have significant surface noise from heavy wear, scratches and scuffs. 

G  Completely dull surface and likely to have considerable surface noise from very heavy wear, scratches and scuffs. 

Unless otherwise agreed with the seller, all payments to be made within 7 days of the auction closing date and all International payments must be sent via Paypal. Thankyou

I have over 10 years experience of collecting, buying, selling and packing 78s; please review my Feedback and bid with confidence. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
