The classic and rare 1957 SOBELL 707AGF radiogram, with the classic BSR Monarch deck and 4 band tuner, one of the earliest sets to have VHF included.
See the radiogram in action with a twin spin of classic 45's, LOVE AFFAIR A Day without love (1968), and EDISON LIGHTHOUSE (love grows where my Rosemary goes, 1970)
They never sounded better on a proper wooden cabinet gram like this!!

The John B. Spencer song.
This also appears on my album "Balanced Books" with Gillian singing a harmony.
Martin Simpson does a really nice version but I don't think he has put it on a studio album yet.
I play it in Open G and on this occasion on my 1995 Sobell model 1A.
