Pre-owned, pre- 1920 popular Sheet Music.

 

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 good 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 £12 - £30 (US$30-$45) + post and packaging.

 

LOOKING FOR THESE ARTISTS OR COMPOSERS.

Some of these pieces have decorative front covers attributable to an artist. If so, we’re pleased to name them e.g. Heath Robinson, Huntrods, Fred Lowe, the Rosebud studio or Barbelle. Other titles were published about the time of the First World War (1914 –18). There are sentimental ballads, tear-jerkers, music-hall “hits”, patriotic lyrics, grand marches, rag-times, “black face” or plantation songs and songs for King Edward VII’s coronation. You’ve come to the right place too for Lionel Monckton, Miss Gertie Gitana (the WW1 “Force’s sweetheart”), Miss Florie Forde, Miss Dorothy Ward, Fred Barnes, Harry Lauder, Theo Bonheur, Ezra Read or even Albert W.Ketelbey (Anton Vodorinski). Just look for the title, composer or artist’s name on the lists below.
