Pre-owned 1920-1950s popular Sheet Music.

 

Many of these songs have decorative front covers and some from the 1920s and ‘30s were especially stylish. A front cover picture is sometimes attributable to an artist and if so, will be named e.g. Cliff Miska, Heath Robinson, Huntrods, Fred Lowe, Rosebud studios or Barbelle. Other titles were published during the  Second World War (1939 –45), sometimes in a smaller size when ink and paper were in short supply.

These pieces of sheet music are secondhand, old and naturally enough, they may show signs of wear and tear. However, most of them are in excellent condition but in a few cases we consider that some damage such as edging tears, a shop stamp, pen marks or even in exceptional cases the use of tape to keep pages intact, are reasonable imperfections considering the age of these manuscripts. There are no detailed descriptions here as to the exact condition of the music listed below but please e-mail us for an honest appraisal of any particular piece or title.  As a guide, generally titles are priced in the range £10 - £30 (US$15-$45) + post and packaging.

 

LOOKING FOR THESE ARTISTS OR COMPOSERS.

WAKEY WAKEY!”  You’ve come to the right place for BILLY COTTON, CRAMER’S RHYTHMIC PIANO SOLOS, THEO BONHEUR, BILLY MAYERL, FATS WALLER, JEROME KERN, GEORGE FORMBY, GRACIE FIELDS, VERA LYNN, ALBERT W.
