Description
I was recently invited to sell a wonderful collection of old jazz, blues and big band era records that came from the estate of a Mrs. Margie M. Raymer. Mrs Raymer was the voice heard on a late night jazz radio station during the late 50s and early 60s in western Kentucky. Her collection consist of 45 rpms, 33 1/3rds and the older 78s (individual records and box or album sets). Lots and lots of great legendary artist including Billie Holiday, Leadbelly, Ben Webster, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Lightening Hopkins, The Dorseys and Glenn Miller. Also many lesser known artist including Bunk Johnson, Joe Reichman, Mimmie Noone, James Johnson, Nellie Lutcher Freddie Slack, Lu Waters & The Delta Rhythm Boys. Mrs Raymer was often sent demo or promotional records for air play (some seldom played) and frequently corresponded with famous artist including Louis Armstrong and Dave Brubeck. Mrs Raymer took very good care of her records. Most were kept in protective sleeves or record album books. Through the month of December I will be listing her wonderful treasures on ebay. HERE WE HAVE a very neat ol' 78 rpm record featuring Billie Holiday and Her Orchestra (Buck Clayton, Lester Young, etc). This is the song (I GOT A MAN, CRAZY FOR ME) HE'S FUNNY THAT WAY. Vocalion Record #3748. Flip side is TRAV'LIN ALL ALONE. This record has two noticeable flaws. First...there are two holes in the label. One is centered and the other is not. The second flaw is a little damage to the outside dead wax area. Perhaps a cigarette burn or something hot. I would guess that it could affect the first few seconds of the song. Otherwise very good condition. High USA bidder pays $3.15 for media rate postage. It can be sent via priority if you'd prefer. Postage for overseas bidders will likely be around $10.00 with secure packing. Combine and save bunches. Thanks for lookin' and goooood luck.
