In-theme: "It's a Lonesome Old Town"

Intro: "How do you do Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Ben Bernie, The Ol' Maestro, Yow-sah".
Overview:
Ben Bernie and Friends, who include Harry James and his wife, vocalist Louise Tobin, plus fellow leaders Tony Pastor and Jimmy Dorsey. Technically, Ben Bernie can be called a Jazz Age personality because of his having an orchestra during the period. Ben and his 1920s band, way back in the "Jazz Age". But in reality, he is more of an emergent from the 'roaring 1920s'.

Ben eventually formed a band which led to a career in radio and motion pictures. He was a wonderful Master of Ceremonies, Comedian, Bandleader, and sometime Singer (of sorts). Ben began his career in pre-WW1 vaudeville. By 1922, he was leading his own band.

Ben Bernie's orchestra, in the 1920s, included Jack Pettis, formely of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings, and now with Bernie has a very nice solo on this tune. This also made him one of the first Jazzmen to appear on film.

From 1933 to 1937 he had his own very popular radio show, sponsored by the Pabst Brewing Company. The band recorded a great many songs, and also appeared in films. (One with Walter Winchell co-starring.) Bernie's hallmark was his saying 'Yowsah, Yowsah' at the beginning of, and all during his radio or stage performances.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

International Buyers:
