CAUTION!
This is a 'shellac' NOT a vinyl record, coming from the "pre microgroove" days of "modern" plastic records.
By it's nature, shellac is very brittle - NEVER EVER attempt to bend them (otherwise Snap!)
Shellacs are also heat sensitive, just like vinyl, keep this shellac away from heat sources or they will become damaged.
Every single record has been carefully checked for warping, cracks and chips, the latter being quite common with this type of record.
I only offer shellacs that are:
a) straight/flat
b) NO cracks
c) NO chips - particularly at the edges
d) NO severe scratches/gouges!
e) Surface is relatively clean, wet washed (distilled water - NO chemicals) cleaned to a reasonable level.
Performed by The Dixie Stars, Al Bernard and Russel Robinson
THE DIXIE STARS AL BERNARD AND RUSSEL ROBINSON - Birmingham Papa & Let My Home Be Your Home
Brunswick Records - Black/Gold label
Catalogue 2813
Made in Australia
1950's release although I believe The Dixie Stars originally recorded these songs around 1924
Play at 78
Brunswick record sleeve does have a tear but otherwise in fair condition. The record has been placed into a new White paper sleeve for improved protection. The two Royalty stamps remain in place.
The record surface is in reasonable condition, yes I can see some light/short scratches or marks but nothing too dramatic on either side. I am unable to test play this record as I no longer have any turntables capable of running at 78 and no suitable styli for these grooves.
TRACKS: Birmingham Papa, Let My Home Be Your Home
To enhance protection of the record and original sleeve, I have inserted the complete release into a clear plastic outer sleeve
Of course, when being shipped, this will be secured onto a stiff (3 wall) cardboard sheet to prevent bending while in transit.
