78 rpm – Geraldo & His Orchestra – Soft Shoe Shuffle Foxtrot / The Autumn Slow Foxtrot (Parlophone)
New!
Description
A vintage 78 rpm shellac record on the Parlophone label featuring Geraldo and His Orchestra, performing “Soft Shoe Shuffle Foxtrot” backed with “The Autumn Slow Foxtrot”. A classic dance‑band era release, showcasing the smooth arrangements and polished orchestral style that made Geraldo one of Britain’s most popular bandleaders of the 1930s and 40s. The record presents well for its age, with clean labels and strong gloss to the shellac. Light surface marks typical of 78s may be present, but nothing that detracts from playability or display. A solid example for collectors of dance‑band recordings, Parlophone issues or pre‑LP era music. A charming period piece that captures the sound and style of Britain’s golden dance‑orchestra years.
Record & Artist Notes

Parlophone issued many of his most popular dance‑band recordings on 78 rpm shellac discs, covering foxtrots, waltzes and slow numbers that were staples of the ballroom era. These records remain popular with collectors for their historical value, musical quality and distinctive label designs.
