Description
Django Reinhardt (guitar) and Stephane Grappelly (hot fiddle) featured in The Quintet of the Hot Club of France on four Decca records. Decca Album No. 334 Personality Series. Here are the songs on four 10" 78 rpm records: Direct Appeal / My Melancholy Baby; Them There Eyes / Swing 39; The Japanese Sandman / Love Letters; Twelfth year / Three Little Words. I found, buy doing some research in The Almost Complete 78 RPM Record Dating Guide, that these records were recorded in late, probably December, 1942, which is about when I believe this album was issued soon after the first volume which I also am auctioning at this time. All four records have Album No. 334 on the label and show the correct sequencing for the eight sides. The conditon of the album is very good showing some slight wear to the corners, but the boards and sleeves are in great shape (no slits in the bottoms of the sleeves). The records show very little use, play great, and are between E- and E+ depending on the record. These albums are of course very rare and desirable by the jazz fan and guitar record collector. I am also selling the first volume, which does not indicate a volume number, of The Hot Club of France in another auction. Use shipping calculator to see shipping costs. I accept Paypal, checks, and money orders. Personal checks take about 10 days to clear before shipping. You must pay within three days of the close of the auction. Thanks for bidding!
