Description
ONE OF THE SCARCEST records by DUKE ELLINGTON AND HIS COTTON CLUB ORCHESTRA, here is "WHO SAID 'IT'S TIGHT LIKE THAT'?" on a 1929 Romeo release. For some reason, this almost NEVER turns up, and it's my pleasure to be able to offer you a copy!
The usual culprits contribute to the happy noise here: COOTIE WILLIAMS (trumpet), JOHNNY HODGES (alto sax), BARNEY BIGARD (clarinet), TRICKY SAM NANTON (trombone) ... and the rest!
The flip side, in not-so-good condition, is "TIGER RAG," as played by the COTTON PICKERS, a pseudonym for "The Broadway Broadcasters," which was a pseudonym for Sam Lanin! It's a wonder anyone can get anything straight around here.
This original 1929 Romeo 997 is in very serviceable V+ condition for "Tight Like That"; V- condition on "Tiger."
*****
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.
