Description
GDSMN. HENRY La RIVIERE (THE SINGING SOLDIER)-THE SOLDIER'S FAREWELL / LONGING FOR OLD ALBERTA. 10 INCH 78 RPM SINGLE. BLUEBIRD B-4686. THIS IS A RARE FORTIES COUNTRY RECORDING BY A CANADIAN WORLD WAR 2 SOLDIER WITH STRONG WILF CARTER INFLUENCES. BOTH SONGS HAVE A CANADIAN THEME. THE SOLDIER'S FAREWELL IS ABOUT A CANUCK SOLDIER, WHILE THE B -SIDE RELATES TO THE PROVINCE OF ALBERTA, WITH MENTIONS OF THECALGARY STAMPEDE AND WILF CARTER. BOTH SONGS WERE WRITTEN BY THE SINGER, WHO SOUNDS QUITE PROFESSIONAL. THIS IS A CANADIAN PRESSING.
VISUALLY, THE RECORD IS A VG+, BUT IT PLAYS QUITE NICELY, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS SEEN A LOT OF TURNTABLE ACTION. LABELS ARE IN BEAUTIFUL SHAPE.
Here's my grading guide:
Mint: A brand new record with no flaws. Has original shine and plays virtually noise-free.
Near mint: Could have one or two light scuff marks, but looks and plays almost like mint.
VG ++: Has minor scuff marks but no audible scratches. Plays with minimal surface noise.
VG +: More scuffing and surface noise, but no audible scratches. (I don't list many records in this condition).
VG: Has audible scratches and quite a bit of surface noise. (The only time you'll see a record with this grading is if it's an extrmely rare copy).
MAILING CHARGES FOR THIS RECORD:
CANADA: $12.85
USA: AIR MAIL $13.80 SURFACE $11.15
INTERNATIONAL: AIR MAIL $32.75 SURFACE $13.60
Please note I can ship 2 78's for the same mailing charge as one to the U. S. and internationally and 3 or 4 for the same postage in Canada.
