There are occasions, though all too few, upon which one is rewarded with the discovery of treasures such as these Decca Nova and Deram Nova LPs, preserved in a condition as remarkable as it is uncommon.

Having weathered the years with admirable grace, they now await the hand that shall guide them into the next chapter of their long and storied history.

May Fortune smile upon the discerning collector who next gives them shelter 🙏 😅
