Description

If you love Andy Kirk's record of "Blue Clarinet Stomp," this is for you: two copies of Brunswick 4694, the original issue, with two different takes of that tune.  
John Harrington (cl); Andy Kirk (bar); Claude Williams (vln); William Dirvin (bj,g); Edward McNeil (d); Harry Lawson (vcl).  Recorded in Kansas City on November 7, 1929.
The first pictured record is an oddball pressing with "Blue Clarinet Stomp" on both sides.  They're both the common take.  The record is in E- condition generally, with a needle run on one side that tiicks briefly.  The needle run is visible in the fourth picture.
The second record has the rare "squeak take" of "Blue Clarinet Stomp" on one side, and the full band playing "Mess-A-Stomp."  It's in V++ condition.  
Gene Prince, Harry Lawson (tp); Allen Durham (tb); John Harrington (cl,as); John Williams (as,bar); Lawrence Freeman (ts); Mary Lou Williams (p,arr); William Dirvin (bj,g); Claude Williams (vln); Andy Kirk (bassax,tu,dir); Edward McNeil (d); Harry Lawson (vcl). 
I'm a longtime collector who is downsizing.  I know how to pack records.
