Description
A TERRIFIC JAZZ DOUBLE-HEADER, this Australian Parlophone:
First side is "BESSIE COULDN'T HELP IT" by LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS ORCHESTRA. It's the great Luis Russell band accompanying Louis in 1930, with HENRY "RED" ALLEN (trumpet), J.C. HIGGINBOTHAM (trombone), ALBERT NICHOLAS (clarinet), PAUL BARBARIN (drums) and all the other guys who inspired Louis to further virtuoso heights.
The other side is the formidable MIFF MOLE AND HIS MOLERS, in "BIRMINGHAM BERTHA." This 1929 recording features PHIL NAPOLEON (trumpet), JIMMY DORSEY (clarinet), STAN KING (drums) and of course MIFF MOLE (trombone) in another sizzling outing.
This original 1930 Australian Parlophone is in sparkling E+ condition. It's laminated!

*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
