TWO GREAT SIDES FROM DUTCH HARMONICA SUPREMO - AND MEMBER OF THE GOON SHOW TEAM - MAX GELDRAY
HARMONICA RAG / RUBY
Max Geldray (12 February 1916 – 2 October 2004) was a jazz harmonica player, credited as the world's first jazz harmonica player, performing with Django Reinhardt in the 1930s. Born Max van Gelder to Jewish parents in Amsterdam, Netherlands, he was best known for his playing and occasional acting on the BBC comedy radio series, The Goon Show before emigrating to the United States. The Goon Show followed the variety theater based format of most radio comedies of the time, with comedy sketches broken up by single piece musical performances. An episode of The Goon Show was thus broken up into three segments, with Geldray playing the first interlude and The Ray Ellington Quartet playing the second. Additionally, Geldray appeared in the Hancock's 43 Minutes special at the end of the first TV series of Hancock's Half Hour. Geldray was distinguished by his large nose, often the subject of playful jokes on The Goon Show. For example, Geldray might be introduced with, "(and now for...) Max Geldray and his enormous Dutch conk" ("conk" was British slang of the period for nose). At the instigation of fellow Goon Michael Bentine, Geldray wrote a history of his career in the music business that was published as "Goon With The Wind". After The Goon Show ended its run in 1960, Geldray moved to the United States, eventually settling in California, returning briefly to appear on The Last Goon Show of All in 1972.

POSTAGE STUFF To obey eBaYs latest crackpot edict (in order that they can make money on the postage costs) I have listed this record as having "FREE POSTAGE" THIS ONLY COVERS THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND NORMALLY THE ACTUAL COMBINED PRICE OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE IS IN THE OVERSEAS AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS To help try and cover this cost, I have included an extra £3.60 into the price of the record and have deducted the same from the cost of the other postage options. BUYERS COMBINING SEVERAL "FREE" POST ITEMS MAY GET A REBATE. (Please wait for my invoice before paying so that I can give you the right discount because the eBaY system has no facility for doing this automatically) 10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!
