Seaman's Gramophone Record and Cover
 | Seaman's Gramophone Record Cover - courtesy of Tessie Pearsall
Hard to believe that Grangetown had two record outlets in times past - something that was new to me. There must have been some money floating about in the 'twenties'.
This unique gramophone record by the Edison Bell Radio Co is of two songs by the Radio Rhythm Boys - Painting the Clouds with Sunshine and Tip-Toe Thro' The Tulips - both from the Film "Gold Diggers of Broadway" produced in 1929. |
