Description
A FEW WEEKS AGO, I listed the extremely scarce LOUIS ARMSTRONG AND HIS HOT FIVE record of "KING OF THE ZULUS." By a freakish stroke of luck, ANOTHER copy of this rarity has surfaced, in much the same, even slightly better, condition! I offer it forthwith.
"KING OF THE ZULU'S (at a Chit' Lin' Rag)" and "LONESOME BLUES"
LOUIS ARMSTRONG (cornet) / KID ORY (trombone) / JOHNNY DODDS (clarinet) / LIL HARDIN (piano) / JOHNNY ST. CYR (banjo) / CLARENCE BABCOCK (comedy and backchat with Louis and Lil!)
THIS original 1926 "TrueTone" OKeh 8396 is in solid VV+ condition. Some needle wear, especially in the intense passages. Plays great despite this.
*****
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.
