Description
ARTIST: Mills Merry Makers / Boyd Senter (with Eddie Lang)
LABEL: Velvet Tone 7121
TITLES: Farewell Blues / Hot Lips
CONDITION: V
DESCRIPTION:
Very scarce release of a Mills Merry Makers side only on Velvet Tone featuring a host of top jazzmen from Ben Pollack's band recorded on January 31, 1930 near the end of Mills run of sessions. It is an outstanding hot side driven at a frenzied tempo by drummer Ray Bauduc playing like he just visited a meth lab. Teagarden roars into one of his best solos and the reedmen are at the top of their game. This record was thought to be unissued until a copy turned up in Canada in the mid 1970s. By the mid 2010s Teagarden specialist Joe Showler verified six known copies, all Canadian pressings, and this is certainly one of the few US pressings. While it's a V copy, it's an A-1 pressing and plays well with very light background noise from small scratches. First time on eBay. WAIT FOR SECOND INVOICE - THE ONE NOT AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY EBAY IMMEDIATELY AFTER CLOSE OF AUCTION.

ADD BOMBASTIUM TO YOUR SAVED EBAY SEARCHES. My curated weekly eBay listings always contain an interesting cross section for a wide variety of interests including on occasion paper ephemera, post-war 78s and LPs.I am listing a run of 10" jazz, blues and world music LPs that have been in storage for over 50 years. For the most part, they are close to new, possibly having being played a couple times, but all were well cared for until they were boxed up long ago. They will fit into one of the vinyl grades below, and none in lesser condition will be listed with the possible exception of a few rarities.
Vinyl Grading scale:
M- - Like new, as close to new without being still sealed. EX - Similar to M- with very minor handling signs, small superficial scuffs from sliding in and out of jacket. VG+ - Shiny with no groove wear, a few more signs of handling, light inaudible marks. VG - Shiny without the mirror like surface, light signs of groove play, spindle marks, light surface scratches or scuffs. Looking more like a lightly used but well taken care of record.
Covers will be described separately.
