FS: 1920's Arabic 78 rpm Records
Alex C. Maddocks
I have recently acquired a selection of 12 Arabic 78 rpm records,
probably recorded in the early 1920's. The condition of each of these
records is virtually identical; all are V (very good) grade without
any major defects. Most of these appear to be accoustically recorded
but play well on a good Victrola with a steel needle or with modern
electrical amplification. The pressings on many of these labels is
German which may explain the good overall quality of the records.
Most of these early Arabic labels are uncommon to scarce and are often
collected solely for their "unusual" and colorful labels, regardless
of the records musical content. These are nice issues and deserve a
good home where then can be enjoyed!
Terms: Outright Immediate Sale or Best Offer + cost of shipping via
US Mail (4th Class - Book/Record Rate).
Items will be held for sale to the first respondant by EMail.
Sellers have two (2) weeks to provide payment or any/all held items
will be offered to the next earliest respondant.
