Description
Hello again, fellow 78 rpm buffs. The job hunt is not going well, so looks like I'm going to have to start selling off my record collection. I've been avidly collecting pre-WWII 78's for over twenty years, so be sure to check my other periodic auctions for goodies. The current batch starts Wed. and Thurs. of this week (28 & 29 Apr.) and runs for ten days. The next batch will start Wed. & Thurs. of next week, and that will be it until probably in the Fall, at the earliest. Shipping will be by either Media Rate or Priority Mail shipment (your choice) in the US (or Priority Mail Int'l for international shipment). Ebay mandates that sellers are responsible for insurance now, and cannot charge buyers for insurance, so insurance is included in the final auction value. And don't worry - I pack very well (even though it's expensive for me). Of course I will combine shipping in cases of multiple wins by one bidder, but we should communicate by e-mail first so I can send an accurate invoice rather than your using eBay's automated checkout. Also, I stand by my record grading, but if you are dissatisfied, you may return the record for a full refund of the final auction value. Some of the label pictures look kind of blurry, but this is only scanner schizz. So, here we go with the next item up for bid;
PANAMA LIMITED BLUES / TIA JUANA MAN: ADA BROWN, on strong V+ Vocalion 1009, both sides recorded 10 Mar. 1926 in Chicago. Big-voiced Ada Brown, wiht a presence rivaling Bessie Smith's, in her first studio appearance since a 1923 St. Louis debut for Okeh with Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra. George Mitchell on cornet, Albert Nicholas on clarinet and alto sax, Barney Bigard on tenor sax, Luis Russell on piano, and Johnny St. Cyr on banjo provide a masterfully forlorn background for Ada's authoritative blues shouting. St. Cyr plays the role of 'conductor' to begin the first side, shouting "All aboard, for the Panama Limited to New Orleans - let's go !" My favorite part is probably the last verse of the first side (Ev'ry time I see conductor...po'ter, engineer, I scream (rpt.), That runs the Panama Limited, from Chicago to New O'leans !) Great stuff !! (Uh-oh ... here come the tears again.) Music plays fairly clearly and quite strongly over very light surface noise. There are a few light scuffs and scratches, not affecting play significantly. Docks' 6th Ed."E" value would be $ 100-150. I've set a reasonable reserve.
