Description
You are bidding on an 10" Presto acetate, recorded on both sides at 78 RPM.
This record contains recordings of Bing Crosby's Radio Show, specifically, routines with Victor Borge. One side is dated 1/22/41 and the other 1/22/42, the latter being the more likely date.
Borge came to America in 1940 without knowing a word of English, and within a year was working on radio as a comedian, in English. This recording of a radio show is no doubt from not long after he began making his name. The two sides appear to be from the same show and likely the same skit.
Here are clips from the start of each side. Clicking on these links should take you to a separate page where the clip will play. If that doesn't work, copy and paste the link into a browser:
