Description
HERE ARE two hot numbers from the current (1927) Broadway hit, "MANHATTAN MARY," by PAUL WHITEMAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA:
"FIVE STEP," with vocal by Paul Whiteman's Rhythm Boys (Al Rinker - Harry Barris - Bing Crosby); and "IT WONT BE LONG NOW," with TOMMY DORSEY uncorking his unseasonably hot trumpet toward the end. Extremely nifty arrangements and delightful execution at every turn. The show was written by De Sylva, Brown & Henderson.
This is the Whiteman band in the summer of 1927, batting a thousand, just before Bix Beiderbecke and Frankie Trumbauer joined the lineup. A great performance. I'm sure if you heard it live, you would faint dead away from sheer excitement.
This original 1927 Victor "Scroll" 20883 is in clean EE+ condition.
*****
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.
