RCA Dick Leibert Record

Q: I have an old RCA Victor 78RPM record with “When I Grow too Old to Dream” on one side and “Home on the Range” on the other. The label says it’s by Dick Leibert playing the Music Hall Organ at Radio City in New York. Is it worth anything?

A: Dick Leibert started his career as an organist at Loew’s Palace Theater in Washington, D.C. He moved to New York City and became the first organist at Radio City Music Hall when the organ was installed in 1932. He retired in the 1970s. Leibert also played the organ for radio shows and radio soap operas. He made many recordings for RCA and Westminster. Most old records sell for $5 or less. Rock & roll, jazz, and rhythm & blues records from the 1950s and ’60s sell for about $10 if in good playable condition. Records by some well-known musicians sell for over $100. A used record dealer can tell you what your record is worth.
