Item Description:  Wonderful, rare, early 10 inch, double-sided 78 rpm
record on Regal label, but says 'manufactured in London by the Columbia
Graphophone Company.  Record number is MR334.  One side entitled
'Scottish Orchestrion Medley', includes these selections - Loch Lomond,
Blue Bells of Scotland, and The Campbells are Coming.    Other side
entitled 'English Orchestrion Medley' includes There is a Tavern in the
Town, Sir Roger de Coverley, A Life on the Ocean Wave.  All are
performed by the "Gigantic Orchestrion," not otherwise identified.
Condition - Very Good+ - Obviously well played, but still enjoyable.
Noticeable graying in the grooves.  A crack goes across one half of the
English side, but doesn't go through the full thickness of the record
and cannot be heard when playing.  Buyer pays shipping.  Click above to
see my other terrific auctions.  I may choose to not do business with
anyone who has negative feedback.
