Joe, THANK YOU for sharing this article with us! :) I really LOVE this needle. I try to buy as many as I can afford! As you know the auction prices vary so much. Sometimes I get lucky and can obtain a full tin at a reasonable price. I recently got a lot of 38 tungs-Tone needles in varying tones for ...

Joe,

It has a biography of the film star and it has a feature of a victrola playing the song by Valentino. It doesn't sound too bad. I'll keep checking back to see if ...

Joe,
Appreciate the info you have provided. I knew it was a long shot. I thought I would try anyway.
Somewhere out there is a disc in someone's attic waiting to be discovered!
Many thanks!
Bob

I know this is a longshot, but, if anyone has or knows where I can find a copy of THE KASHMIRI SONG by Rudolph Valentino I would appreciate your help. THANKS
