MGM 78's are somewhat Inherently "noisy" no idea why must the "shellac" etc Used at the time. Every MGM 78 I have Spun sounds like Gravel had been mixed with the disc!!

MGM were from the very late forties and were made for phonographs with electric pick-ups. A lot of the cruddy ones I've seen were probably because they were played with steel needles like in a traditional victrola. I'm in the USA and I pick up really nice MGM pretty often that have probably seldom been played. Most people by the fifties were moving to 33/45s. I don't care for most of the singers signed on MGM, Capitol had better artists. The Notable exceptions being people like Slim Gaillard!
I am a little surprised, because, according to the label, this record was pressed in England. This fact alone should have ensured better quality shellac.
