Comment on Al Jolson: Souvenir Album by Michael Hanscom

Hi Fred (and all the others who’ve asked about the value of such records) —

I don’t mean to sound like I’m ignoring these questions, but the only real answer I can give is that I don’t know. My guess is that in most cases there’s very little individual monetary value, but for collectors, the non-monetary value can be great indeed — and if a seller is lucky, he or she might find such a collector and be able to get what both parties feel is a fair price.

Personally, I’d love to get my hands on your collection, especially given the quality you describe. However, as an unemployed college student, I’m in no position to be making a bid. Good luck!

In brief, I would just like to know if the “old platters” of the “40’s and 50’s by the great big bands of those times have any monetary value if I was to try and sale tem on e-bay or at my own garage sale-.I must have at least 100 or more of these records that demand an old record player-they are like new-doubt if they even have been played. Inherited the collection from a dear uncle who passed away at the time when these records were being “cut”

the question remains what kind of price can you sell at a garage sale the old big band sound such as al jolson, guy lombardo, frank Senatra, the dorsey brothers, etc? are this excellent records madein the 40’s and 50’s worth anything because they were cut on the old record, such as the “45 and other stand sizes?

Thanks for making these sounds available.

I'm one of the very few who still have a Hammond Novachord. Mine is No. 416, and in the process of restoration. Would you have any other records in your collection that also have the Novachord on the bill? As you may know, Novachords were a common sound because most of the major radio studios had one back in the day, but not so much was recorded and saved. I'm looking for reference works showing how it was used in the late 30's through the early 60's. I'm also looking for early Hammond organ recordings.

Thanks for your assistance.

Regards,

Dave Bishop

George Vaughn was an alias for Vaughn Horton, whose full name was George Vaughn Horton. I’m trying to get more info. on the Beaver Valley Sweethearts. Vaughn organized The Pinetoppers to record Mockin’ Bird Hill and they recorded more than 100 tunes over a six year period. Many were with the Marlin Sisters, Ray Smith, Elton Britt, and Anita Kerr Singers.

Hey, I recognize this one! It's the intro music to Fallout. I think they used it on the soundtrack of Fallout 3, also.
