Description
From Wikipedia: “McKinney's Cotton Pickers were an African American jazz band, founded in Detroit, Illinois, United States, in 1926 by William McKinney, who expanded his Synco Septet to ten pieces. Cuba Austin took over for McKinney early on drums. Between 1927 and 1931, they were one of the most popular African-American bands. Many of their records for Victor were bestsellers.” “It’s a Precious Little…” was a hit for other recording personalities but I much prefer the flip side, “Do Something,” which I think was a minor hit for Helen Kane. "Precious...." was recorded April 8, 1929 and "Do Something" the following day. .SOL, wear. Condition V++
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.
