Brunswick 78rpm
No. 8443
From the Bottom of My Heart/Melancholy Mood
“Vocal Chorus Frank Sinatra”
HARRY JAMES and his ORCHESTRA
HISTORIC…RARE…HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER COLLECTIBLE
Frank Sinatra’s first official commercial recording – recorded in July 1939. Some call it the “Holy Grail” of Frank Sinatra collectibles. Fewer than 8,000 copies of "From the Bottom of My Heart" (Brunswick No. 8443) were sold, making the record a very rare find that is sought after by record collectors worldwide. It is said that most were sold and distributed on the East Coast. So how many of these exist today?!
SEE SCANS. Record itself is clean, in good condition for being over 70 years old. Still plays without interruption. Label on “Melancholy Mood” side has some minor wear but is relatively clean and presentable. Label on “From the Bottom of My Heart” side shows evidence that tape or a sticker was once there and was subsequently removed. It appears some of the adhesive still remains. The label is still presentable and is intact, but for what is described above.
This is one of the most highly sought after Frank Sinatra collectibles, so it is rare you see one of these and have the opportunity to buy/invest in one. Being offered as you see it – the real deal.
Thank you for looking! Please let me know if you have any questions. I have many vintage items up for sale, other rare Sinatra items (including autographs). So, please take a look if you get a chance.
