GLENN MILLER Album + Four 78's -- Take The A Train, CHATTANOOGA CHOO CHOO

Description: Listen carefully here, there's a slight case of a mis-match, so you don't want to judge this particular book by its cover. The album is one thing, and the records are another. Let's start with the album, which is for the RCA Victor four-record set No. P-148, titled "An Album of Outstanding Arrangements on Victor Records" by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. However, as already hinted at, only one of the four original records is in the album. The other three 10-inch 78 rpm records appear to be randomly selected records by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra. They are instrumental unless a vocal credit is given (in parentheses), and - starting with the one that belongs with the album - they are individually numbered as follows:RCA Victor # 20-1566 -- "Little Brown Jug" and "Moonlight Serenade." Bluebird # B-11230 -- "I Know Why" (vocal by Paula Kelly and the Four Modernaires) and "Chattanooga Choo Choo" (vocal by Tex Beneke and the Four Modernaires). Bluebird # B-11235 -- "The Cowboy Serenade" (vocal by Ray Eberle) and "Below the Equator" (vocal by Ray Eberle and the Modernaires). Bluebird # B-11187 -- "I Guess I'll Have to Dream the Rest" (vocal by Ray Eberle and the Modernaires) and "Take the 'A' Train."In terms of condition, "Take the 'A' Train" has a deep needle gouge in the middle, so you're going to get a few revolutions of loud ticking there. Other than that, the records all look to be in about VG to VG+ condition, still nice and shiny, but with some visible surface scuffs and scratches and digs or blisters. I've played them all on my Audio-Technica turntable, and there were no jumps or repeats, and mostly very tolerable levels of ambient background noise, but also some scattered clicks, pops and ticking. Because of variations in tracking ability, filtering devices and needle weights, I can offer no guarantees as to how well they will play on your equipment. The album itself is in solid and functional condition, with the pocket seams intact, but some surface rubbing and edge wear on the cover.International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws. COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping. PAYPAL: Please note that, due to Paypal's ridiculously over-protective "Confirmed Address" policy, we no longer honor requests for shipment to third party addresses, and we reserve the right to refuse to ship to unconfirmed addresses, especially overseas. If you have any questions about this, please contact us prior to bidding so we can review your options. If you have any complaints about this, please contact Paypal. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING COSTS: If the eBay auto-calculator is not responding, or if you think our shipping costs are too high, please contact us prior to bidding to determine your shipping options and costs. Repeat, prior to bidding, please. FEEDBACK: Because of abuses we've experienced in the past, we have totally given up on the eBay feedback system, so we neither give nor expect feedback. Please, therefore, do not contact us after the auction asking us to leave feedback. If you ever have a problem with an item you purchase from us, please contact us directly about it before giving negative feedback or seller ratings, and especially before invoking eBay's dreaded Grand Tribunal in processes like "Return Requests" or "Opening an Item Not as Described Case." No one is perfect, and we occasionally mis-describe something, or an item arrives late or gets damaged in the mail, but we are always quick to respond to a problem and set it straight in the most mutually agreeable way.
