Description
Hello again, fellow 78 buffs. I'm back after a three-year hiatus (just got laid off again !) with numerous lots of ten-each 1920's jazz and dance band 78's, along with some interesting singles I'll be listing over the next couple of weeks. There'll be at least some occasional jazz and scarce label items mixed into the multi-lots, and some nice jazz, blues, and hillbilly single listings, so be sure to scan them thoroughly to ensure that you don't miss out on something you need for your collection. Please bear with my sometimes lengthy item descriptions; I love these old records, and this is about the only place I get to talk about them ! Shipping will cost more than eBay's misinformed maximum of four bucks, and I'll have that total after the auction concludes (depending on combined shipping and/or your election of either Priority or Media Rate shipment), but I promise I'll keep shipping at no more than actual cost.
OVER NIGHT BLUES / CHARLIE'S IDEA: PAUL HOWARD'S QUALITY SERENADERS, on V+ Victor V-38070, recorded in Culver City, California, 29 & 28 April 1929 respectively. Great sides, from the same sessions that yielded "The Ramble" and "Quality Shout". Lionel Hampton is here on drums and piano, as well as future Duke Ellington trombonist Lawrence Brown. First side is ambling, laid-back jazz reminiscent of King Oliver's band from around this time, with a tuba-driven brontosaurian lope. "Charlie's Idea" is a tour-de-force flag waver. Music plays loud and clear over very light surface noise. Labels are in very good condition; the spots you see in the scan are the reflections of black ink used to dress up some small scratches. The scanner makes them pop out more than they deserve to. Docks' 6thEd."E" price would be $ 80-120.
