Tantalizing record from the PRIVATE RECORDING LIBRARY of SIGMUND ROMBERG

Voc & Orch by Sigmund Romberg SRS-175/178

 from MAY WINE : Dance My Darling / Something new is in my heart

These sound like live recordings from the actual production,

The Broadway production opened on December 5, 1935 at the St. James Theatre, where it ran for a modestly successful 213 performances despite the reservations of reviewers about the book. Romberg's Viennese-style score was praised. The cast included Walter Slezak as Johann, Nancy McCord as Marie, Betty Allen as Friedl and Walter Woolf King as Kuno. The orchestrations were by Don Walker, who later worked with Romberg several times.[1]

Vinyl 12" 78 rpm record

Condition: EXCELLENT  close to pristine, plays almost superquiet

May Wine is a musical with a book by Frank Mandell, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, II, and music by Sigmund Romberg. The show was adapted from the novel The Happy Alienist by Eric von Stroheim and Wallace Smith. The story concerns the rich and absent-minded psychology professor, Johann Volk, who falls in love with Marie (Baroness von Schlewitz). The malevolent Baron Kuno Adelhorst, who also loves Marie, tries to get the professor's money by having Marie marry him, but after they are married she comes to love the professor and doesn’t want to blackmail him. However, the Professor thinks he’s been deceived and tries to shoot Marie. Fortunately, he does not hurt her and all ends well. The subplot involves an artist's model, Friedl, who wants a man's attention and gets it from the Baron.

Romberg and Hammerstein had worked together on the hit operetta The New Moon in 1928.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:

I am very happy to ship records worldwide.

Please use the EBAY shipping cost only as a guideline. My actual charges are usually lower

International shipping: approx postage 1x10"=$25: 1x12"=$35: 10"Album 4 Rec=50$: 12" Album 2 Rec=50$
