Description
TWO PEPPY TUNES from BEN SELVIN AND HIS ORCHESTRA in 1930:
"CHEER UP! (GOOD TIMES ARE COMING)" and "I REMEMBER YOU FROM SOMEWHERE."
The first number is one of those rather over-joyous "Let's all cheer up and be miserable!" "Depression Beater" tunes, which, along with "Happy Days are Here Again," "Headin' For Better Times," et cetera, were designed to buck up the swelling, unemployed masses as they headed for the bread line!
The other side, "I REMEMBER YOU FROM SOMEWHERE," is actually a pretty fine fox-trot ballad.
THIS original 1930 "Viva-Tonal" Columbia 2207-D is in impossible near-mint condition! Plays like a dream.
*****
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.
