Perfect. Not a mark nor scratch. Zoom in on those grooves.

Orchestra tuning up side. I think this has never been played as it's so perfect, with not even a minor scratch. Perfect!

Need to wake some one up with a start? The bugler here will certainly do that. All the well known trumpet and bugle sounds.

And if they weren't enough there's also the orchestra tuning up, and the applause of the 1930s audience. Feel those cheers and whistles from over 70 years ago.

Perfect gift, ideal for hobbists or collectors and enthusiasts. Sound effects workers, film industry or those simply interested in this fine relic of past glory days.

Add some sense of impending drama with these classic percussion rolls. Firstly, the classic 1930s continuous drum roll, full of impending suspense. Then the more theatrical cymbal roll, followed by the Tympani rolling their thundering bass. Over 70 years ago this would have had the audience sitting at the edge of their seats.

Think of the most dramatic moments where the climatic action rises like a cymbal crescendo and burrows into your chest like a tympani roll. These are the very effect that cause that atmosphere.

The English train sounds side, showing the heaviest damage, which you can see is pretty light.

And again the underground side, showing the deepest of the scratches, hardly anything, I think you'll agree.

From train spotters, to Hornby collectors; retired guardsmen to child collectors. This is the genuine sound of real trains doing real things. No studio effects here.

Listen to the chuffa - chuff, of the 1930s - 70 years ago. This record conjures up all the atmosphere of steam transport, it sounds like you're standing at the platform waving your lover goodbye. Paint your own poignant pictures to go with these gorgeous, deeply atmospheric effects.

Not only train sounds, but the on the reverse side a full side of the sound of the London underground. Listen in to the 1930s lifts moving up and down those shafts, the trains pulling into stations and starting off.

Strike up the band, sing a long to the most royal, most glorious, English National Anthem. Raise your glasses, stand to attention, just the job for the end of the night at the cinema. Or, was it for the BBC, they still played it till only a few years ago at the end of broadcasting.

Not only that but here you have the choice of three versions, the full on orchestra just the first few bars, or the whole thing. And a bit lighter from the band. And a bit of traditional marching too. The old Mache Militare always brought those that wouldn't dance out onto the floor.

But when you sing God Save the King, which King do you mean? The thirties was a busy time for the Kings of England.

In the theatre, the noises, the coughs, chatter, the sounds, the atmosphere. The orchestra tuning, violins, brass, mutters, it's all here. Conjure up the sounds of a 1930s theatre. Seventy years ago!

"Ahhh! The ambience," (said in a French accent, even though one's quite English, dear chap). Munch, munch, chink, chatter, chatter, and then with light music in the background. Delightful.
