The 78s are not that hard to get. You have to look for any records with Ray Noble and his Orchestra with vocals. Chances are it'll be Al Bowlly himself on vocals. Sometimes this is noted on the label, sometimes not.
Thanks for that, since posting I have managed to get quite a few Al Bowley records on ebay I was suprised on how high the bidding was on some titles! Ive also just had my HMV model 145 serviced sounds great now the clunking of the spring winding down has gone!
I have been told to watch out for Durium records as they are supposed to be good is that right?
im trying to find that song that keeps going around the world aroun the world for like 3 mins and this is what shows up when i type it in WTF
