Description
HELENE DANIELS sings startlingly Black-sounding versions of "OLD PLANTATION" and "WHERE IS THE SUN?" - both featured in the 1937 "Cotton Club Parade." She's actually a nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn named Helen Rubin, who somehow sounds like a cross between Mildred Bailey and Cab Calloway! Well, she's accompanied by NAT BRUSILOFF AND HIS ORCHESTRA, and she's HIS problem now!
This original 1937 Master MA-140 is in lovely EE+ condition.
*****
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.
An Unsolicited Testimonial!: "Superbatone is one of the coolest people on eBay - seriously. An excellent source for music, knowledge, and whimsy, and an asset to the community who cares about music and its preservation. It goes without saying that he is an expert in all facets surrounding 78’s and their content."
