[78-L] Early Caruso

[Brian Bashford]

Thanks Erwin, the 2 G & Ts are in remarkably good shape (E condition I 
reckon) with bright clean labels and play with very little background noise. 
I've just read that the rarer Caruso G & Ts are red label rather than pink.

The Victor is common... The pink labels are not rare but not you don;t find
them in any other batch.  The Pinks could be wortt between 25-50 dollars if
in almost perfect shape. If they are worth to hang on...? Of course!! It's
Caruso!!!
