Description
[Only five items this week, but they're CHOICE. The light was lousy! I've NEVER had so much trouble taking pictures!]
Here's legendary blues pianist WILL EZELL taking an unusual turn as a solo entertainer, singing and playing "All By Himself," in these rare performances from December, 1928: "EZELL'S PRECIOUS FIVE" and "CRAWLIN' SPIDER BLUES." He acquits himself marvelously.
This original 1929 "Race" Paramount 12729 is in reasonable V+ condition: scratches and wear, and the label is a little dish-warped, but the music still triumphs gloriously. I have previously listed this record as "V," but actually understated the grade. It's V+, really!
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
