Description

Born in Alabama, Hal Kemp (1904-1940) put together his first band, the Carolina Club Orchestra, while a student at the University of North Carolina in the mid-1920s.  He became immensely popular in the 1930s producing many hit records and was still at the top of his game when, in December of 1940, he was tragically killed in an automobile accident in California.  Here, with vocals by Skinny Ennis, Kemp plays “Hey! Young Fellow (Close You Old Umbrella)” and “It’s All My Fault,” recorded on January 19, 1933.   Some wear.   Condition E--

NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades.  Still, it can be a subjective undertaking.  I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually.  Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
