Description
Born in Manhattan, Annette Hanshaw (1901-1985) was one of the most popular radio singers of the early 1930s – in a 1934 poll ahead of Ethel Shutta, Ruth Etting and Kate Smith. Apparently she did not have a high opinion of her voice and, after about ten years of performing, she retired from the business. This Perfect is early Hanshaw.

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.
