Bobby Breen - 'Let's Sing Again' Decca 78 RPM Australian Pressing

This is a 10-inch shellac phonograph record featuring child actor Bobby Breen (identified on the label as 'Eight Years Old'). The disc is an Australian pressing of the song 'Let's Sing Again' from the 1936 RKO Radio film of the same name. The recording is released on the Decca label, which features a prominent red and gold design characteristic of the mid-1930s. The label includes the catalog number X1175 and mentions that it was made in Australia by Columbia Graphophone (Aust) Ltd. A notable feature is the small, square Alben-issued royalty/mechanical copyright stamp adhered to the right side of the center label, indicating localized legal compliance for the Australian market. The record is designed for 78 RPM playback. Physically, the shellac appears to be in fair to good condition, showing significant surface dust, fingerprints, and numerous light scuffs or hairline scratches consistent with its age. There is visible wear around the spindle hole, and the grooves appear slightly dull, suggesting frequent play. The red label exhibits some minor fading and edge wear but remains largely legible. This artifact represents the peak of the 1930s child star phenomenon and early commercial recorded music history in the Australasian region.
