HOW TO BID
Basically, there are two ways of bidding; first is the simple Straight Bid - you offer a fixed amount for an item and if yours is the highest bid, you win. Secondly, and easier for those more familair with internet auctions, and for those collectors unsure of what to offer,
is the Maximum Bid. You offer a bid to a maximum amount, which will be increased in 10% increments over the nearest bid up to
your maximum amount. For example, you bid to a maximum of $100 on an item, but the next highest bid is $20 - you will pay $22,
i.e. 10% over the the next highest bid. In the event of a tie the fixed bidder, or earliest-placed bid wins.
IMPORTANT! Please make clear the system of bidding you are using and currency you are bidding in (Pounds Sterling,
Euros or US Dollars). If you have a maximum budget to spend, please advise with your bids.
Please also double check your item numbers when bidding - I do not use titles on my auction spreadsheet, so if you bid on
the wrong number and win it, it’s yours!
Payment by all major Credit Cards as well as £ and US$ personal checks and Paypal.
NOTE: Some of the categorisation of certain instrumental-based artists has been, by necessity, arbitrary so please check all sections.
We are very pleased to offer more superb items from the legendary collections of Laurie Wright and Brian Rust, two of the most
distinguished collectors and discographers of Jazz and Blues 78s - more fantastic items to follow!

SECTION TWO - UNIQUE ‘OFF AIR’ RECORDINGS FROM THE 1930s!
These ‘one off’ 8” diameter aluminium discs were recorded by a young (and well-heeled) jazz fan direct off the BBC in the mid-late 1930s.
They provide an almost unique insight into what jazz the BBC were presenting - more than we would suppose - in the period and are notable in particular for the two broadcasts by the Quintette of the Hot Club of France, featuring Django Reinhardt, complete with announcements. Some titles have been reissued but most remain unissued. One is mislabelled in discographies and on the handwritten label - ‘Fat’
is actually Byron Gay’s 1922 composition ‘Fate’. The grooves are extremely shallow and need good quality equipment to track them correctly without skating, and thus I can offer no guarantees on how they will reproduce on equipment other my own, other than to say I can
play them! Grading is also difficult, given the quality of the recordings and the surfaces,but I have erred on the side of caution. The high
bidder on the QHCF items will also get a CD transfer of them by Dave Bennett.
