Description
Tommy Tucker (1903-1989) started out as a bandleader in North Dakota and eventually got to California in about 1933 where he made his first records for Crown. He recorded “Blue Prelude” and “Good Evenin’, Mr. Nightingale” for the label in May of 1933. His biggest hit was “I Don’t Want To Set the World on Fire” on Okeh in 1941. Rim chip to groove on “Good Evenin’…” Some wear. 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.
