Description
Here are THE TENNESSEE TOOTERS playing the most iconic song of the whole 1920s - "CHARLESTON." Conjuring the image of carefree Flappers and Sheiks, this song had its origin in the chants and dances of the lowly Gullahs of the South Carolina coastal islands. Humble beginnings for a song and a rhythm that caused a sea-change in ALL American popular music!
"I HAD A SWEET MAMA," on the flip, isn't as storied, but it is still a fine peppy dance number!
This original 1925 "White Box" Vocalion 15080 is in lovely EE- condition. Slight label stains.
*****
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.
An Unsolicited Testimonial!: "Superbatone is one of the coolest people on eBay - seriously. An excellent source for music, knowledge, and whimsy, and an asset to the community who cares about music and its preservation. It goes without saying that he is an expert in all facets surrounding 78’s and their content."
And another: “Descriptions as passionate and informative as superbatone’s are commensurate with what you receive: beautiful records, fast service - and even his writing on the shipping box is interesting, artistic, and indicative of the care taken for these records and to transport them safely.”
