Description
Here’s a 12-inch picture label Victor that features the music and singing of the talented English artist, Noel Coward (1899-1973), who was an author, playwright, actor, singer and patriot. On May 25, 1932, he teamed up with Leo Reisman and his Orchestra, apparently in London, to record a medley of his songs from various musicals. The list of the selections can be seen on the label pictured in the listing. This is top-drawer artistry. Some wear but plays well. 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.
