Description
About forty records were issued on the Timely Tune label, an inexpensive Victor alternative for record buyers introduced in April of 1931 in the depths of the Great Depression. The label lasted about three months. On this rarity, the Ronald Sachs Orchestra (actually Nat Shilkret) plays “Say a Little Prayer for Me.” The better side is “Rockin’ Chair” performed by Dave’s Harlem Highlights. Both were recorded June 9, 1931. Some wear. Condition V+
NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.price rating
