Description
HERE'S a label that is VERY seldom seen: "LEEDS." I don't know how this company could afford these solid gold metallic labels, which obviously cut into their overhead, and evidently they COULDN'T! The label only lasted a few years in the early 'OOs.
This one is by Baritone FRANK STANLEY, who announces the record, then sings "YOU'RE AS WELCOME AS THE FLOWERS IN MAY." Sounds like C. H. H. Booth accompanying at the piano.
This original ca. 1904 Leeds record is in V++ condition for playing; the label is mint!
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
