Video duration: 237 seconds Christmas Evening Service. Part Two. The Vicar, Choir and Congregation of St. James's Church, London W1. Recorded circa 1931/32.

The Duophone Un-Breakable Record.1926. Posted by: 85scampi
Video duration: 222 seconds "Chinese Moon". Jack Payne & His Hotel Cecil Dance Band. November 1926. Not a good copy at all, but a lovely looking label all the same. I'm not sure what these records were made out of but it could be a hard rubberised material and cardboard?, whatever it is,it certainly has perished a great deal over the last 80 years and is far too fragile to play on my Gramophone and Radiogram.

Video duration: 197 seconds A Medley by Nat Gonella & His Georgians. This is 'Hot' and shows Gonellas' mastery of his art of Trumpet playing.
