Description
For your consideration is a rare vintage 10 inch 78 rpm by Phil Baxter's Orchestra entitled Waiting b/w Something Tells Me. Phil Baxter was an important but relatively obscure figure in jazz, who wrote a number of prominent early jazz tunes like Piccolo Pete, I'm A Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas and the One Man Band. Baxter had connections to Paul Whiteman, Ted Weems and Joe Haymes and played on radio throughout the 20s and early 30s. He was only recorded on two occasions, once for Okeh in 1925 and a second time for Victor in 1929. His records sold in small numbers and are quite rare today, particularly his Okehs. This one in particular is likely his most sought after, along with I Ain't Got No Gal Now (Victor 40160). Excellent scarce early hot jazz on a nice acoustic territory Okeh. Hear below!
All of our old shellac and vinyl 78 records are packed with utmost care and precaution so as to ensure they arrive to you in the same condition in which they were shipped out. I have extensive experience shipping 78s. For an in depth explanation of my shipping methods, see the bottom of this page. All items will be shipped within 3 days of purchase. All good faith offers thoroughly considered.
Further, for your purchasing consideration, a video link has been provided below to provide the option to listen to a short segment of one side of this disc. Please keep in mind that rather economical equipment was used and 78s only received a light cleaning. For the highest fidelity reproduction results, a correct sized, well maintained stylus should always be used and antique records should also always receive a deep cleaning with a stiff bristled brush and a non-alcohol based soap. I do not provide grading beyond what is required by eBay. If the photographs and sound sample prove insufficient, do not hesitate to reach out with a question, as well as any other type of inquiry related to an item.
