Description

Born in Germany, Paul Ash (1891-1967) Paul Ash led orchestras that mostly did movie theatre work in the 1920s and 1930s.   Both  “Louisville Lady,” with a vocal by Auriole Graves, and “Free,” with a vocal by Louis Rapp, Ash recorded in Chicago on July 26, 1933, probably when his band was performing at the  Century of Progress Exposition.  (The Pabst Blue Ribbon Company had a huge exhibit there at the fair.)     SOL, couple long light scratches.  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.
