| | This, and several other 78" records that I have, have a small sticker attached with 3/4 d stamped on. This means 3 farthings or 3/4 of an old penny, and there were 240 pennies in a £1. in today's terms that amounts to about 1/4 of one pence.
I can only think that it would be some sort of tax to pay on the gramophone record. I'm not sure of how much gramophone records cost in Britain about 1930. This record was released round about 1929-1931 as far as I know. |
