$

25

Description

(Blues pioneer MAMIE SMITH is getting some extra props this season, what with her 1920 "Crazy Blues" receiving widespread recognition as the first "Race" record, effectively beginning the entire Black record industry.  In her honor, I'm offering four of her original OKeh records!) 

OKeh 4856 "FRANKIE BLUES" and "MEAN MAN BLUES" 

Her "Jazz Hounds" include JOHNNY DUNN and / or BUBBER MILEY (cornet), BUSTER BAILEY or GARVIN BUSHELL (clarinet) and LEROY PARKER (violin).  

This original 1922 Maroon OKeh 4856 is nominally in V++ condition. There is a little wear and some scratches, but it plays beautifully. 

***** 

 

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.
