A RARE COPY OF THIS INTERESTING LATIN 78 FROM ROSITA SERRANO ON A UK DECCA EXPORT LABEL

QUE CONTENTO ESTOY b/w BABALU

Rosita Serrano (1914-1997), had a great career as singer and actress in Germany in the 1930s and 1940s; her nickname was The Chilean nightingale. Serrano, daughter of a diplomat and an opera singer, moved to Europe in the 1930s. From 1936 on, she performed at the Berlin Wintergarten, where German composer Peter Kreuder discovered her and procured her a record contract at Telefunken, where songs such as Küss mich, bitte, bitte, küss mich and Der Onkel Jonathan were recorded.

From 1938 on, Rosita Serrano performed in vaudeville-like films. She had her breakthrough with Es leuchten die Sterne (1938), after which followed Bel Ami (1939), Die kluge Schwiegermutter (1939), Der vierte kommt nicht (1939), Herzensfreud-Herzensleid (1940), and Anita und der Teufel (1941). She did succesful tours with two dance orchestras and sang on the radio. In 1940 her song La Paloma came out, referred to in Wolfgang Petersen's film Das Boot and in Isabel Allende's The House of the Spirits.

Her German career halted in 1943 when she was suspected of helping jewish refugees at a Swedish benefit night and was charged with espionage.

Serrano did not return to Germany and moved from Sweden back to her homeland Chili. In vain she tried a career in the United States. In 1951, she went back to Germany, the country of her former successes. There she performed in the films Schwarze Augen (1951) and Saison in Salzburg (1952), but after audiences had booed her away at the Berlin Sportpalast, Telefunken cancelled her record contract. An attempt to make a comeback in 1957 failed and because of her dark past, Serrano died in poverty in Chili.

POSTAGE STUFF

Nothing in this world is "FREE" so if you see free postage it means the cost of the post is already in the starting price of the record - eBay have introduced "free postage" so that they can take a % cut of the Postal payment. I have added another £3.60 to the price which just covers basic second class delivery in the UK.

THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND THE ACTUAL COMBINED COST OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE BY 1ST CLASS MAIL / AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS - IN THE UK £ 5, EUROPE £ 8, AND REST OF WORLD IS £ 12. SO I HAVE DEDUCTED £3.60 OFF THE PRICE OF THESE POSTAGE OPTIONS

But, Because of this new "Innovation" from eBaY There is now no formal way to offer POSTAGE DISCOUNTS for MULTIPLE ITEMS - BUT ..

I AM HAPPY TO OFFER A POSTAGE REBATE FOR EVERY EXTRA 78rpm RECORD BOUGHT THAT GOES IN THE SAME POSTAL PACKET WHERE POSTAGE IS LISTED AS "FREE". (Ask for details before paying)

10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!!

THE GREG'S GREAT'S SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INNER BOX MADE OUT OF 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE, WHICH THEN GOES INSIDE A DOUBLE CORREGATED STIFF OUTER CARDBOARD CARTON. THE BOXES CAN TAKE UP TO 21 RECORDS,

USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 7 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES.

I SEND OUT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 30 PARCELS A WEEK AND DISPATCH IS NORMALLY DONE ONCE A WEEK - SO IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR RECORD WITHIN A WEEK IN THE UK, PLEASE DON'T BE TOO SURPRISED - YOU MAY HAVE JUST PAID FOR IT THE DAY AFTER I'VE DONE THE PARCEL RUN!! - ON THE OTHER HAND YOU MAY HAVE HIT IT LUCKY, AND GET THE PARCEL WITHIN A DAY OR TWO!!

IF YOU REALLY HAVE AN URGENT REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECORD - BIRTHDAY PRESENT, WEDDING, FUNERAL etc PLEASE TELL ME - (BECAUSE I CAN'T READ MINDS!) I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET IT OUT FOR YOU URGENTLY.

IF A RECORD ARRIVES CRACKED OR BROKEN DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS WITH THIS FANTASTIC PACKAGING I WILL REFUND THE MONEY IN FULL. - JUST SEND ME A QUICK SCAN - IF IT IS A VERY RARE RECORD I MAY ASK YOU TO SEND IT BACK OTHERWISE IT WILL BE YOURS TO KEEP OR DISPOSE OF.

Pay instantly with your debit or credit card through PayPal.
