Description
From my collection: this is a 78rpm acetate of one of Billie Holiday's Club Downbeat performances in December 1945. The two sides are Travelin' Light and Fine and Mellow. I listened to the disc only a single time after purchasing it, and it plays without skips. However, it's a 70-year-old acetate, and one can't expect Living Stereo quality. If you want to play it, it's an enjoyable listen. But it's certainly not Mint. Visually, you can see that the disc is dirty. It's intact with no chips or cracks.
Both tracks feature audience noise--clapping, whistling. It's a nice live performance. I don't think it was released on vinyl.
Because of its rarity, I don't know how to price this piece. Keep this in mind: It ships FREE in the States and Canada, and as a true collector I'm going to package it appropriately. Shipping will be by Priority mail or better.
I will also include another Holiday acetate from my collection. That'll be a surprise bonus for the buyer.
