BABE RUTH ON 10 INCH ACTUELLE RECORDING
OK, before everybody jumps down my throat let me quote two items from the internet.
******************************************************************************************************************************
The "Babe Ruth's Home Run Story" 78 rpm record was released in 1920 on the Actuelle record label. Side one featuring an actual recording by the Babe, "Babe Ruth's Home Run Story," and side two "Abadele" performed by Duane Sawyer, and his Novelty Orchestra.
Manufactured by the Pathe Freres Phonograph and Cinematography company. a France based international record label active from the 1890s through the 1930s. The "needle-cut" records were labeled Pathe Actuelle.
Extremely Rare the "Babe Ruth's Home Run Story" 78 rpm record in auction could sell for anywhere between $400. to $600. Possibly more.
*******************************************************************************************************
It should be noted here that according to Baseballrecordings.com and Baseball On The Record by Michael Corenthal, This is not actually Babe Ruth speaking. It's someone telling a story as if they were Babe Ruth.

So, I'm not going to go nuts trying to figure this all out, I'll leave it up to you. The label is in good shape and a nice item to look at.
The record plays loud and clear. Thanks. E.W. Bennett
