[78-L] My First - 12 Inch Red Wax Vocalion records

[David Lennick]

Probably a lot less durable than black shellac, although the Nikisch discs I've 
listed on eBlechh are in nice condition.

Found 4 - 12 inch red wax Vocalion records, 1 single faced (52016), and 3 double faced (38011, 70031,&   70035), all opera - not my usual thing to get excited about except for the size of the records.  They seem to be in pretty good condition, too.  Yee-Haa!
