Description
HERE'S the premiere record of a long series by THE TENNESSEE TOOTERS, a lovely 1924 Red-Brick Vocalion:
"PRINCE OF WAILS," by Elmer Schoebel, became a "Hot" standard, recorded frequently by jazz bands throughout the '20s and beyond. This early version is plenty torrid on its own. "I AIN'T GOT NOBODY TO LOVE" is on the flip side, and it's equally jazzy.
How could it not be, with the tight personnel of RED NICHOLS (cornet), VINCENT GRANDE (trombone), LUCIEN SMITH (tenor sax), RUBE BLOOM (piano), HARRY RESER (banjo), JOE TARTO (tuba) and HARRY LOTTMAN (drums)?
This original 1924 Red Vocalion 14952 is in clean EE- condition. Mostly unworn, light scratches.
*****
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.
