Description
HERE'S a rare, odd-ball label for you to ponder: "CLARION" records. NOT to be confused with the later, green-label Columbia product of the early '30s, this is an independent make from a decade earlier. It must be QUITE rare, because in fifty years of collecting 78s, I've never seen another!
The music is nice, too! THE FRISCO SYNCOPATORS give a good account of Irving Berlin's "EVERYBODY STEP"; and on the flip, the CLARION DANCE ORCHESTRA get into some oriental-fox-trot shenanigans, possibly related to what Valentino was doing on the Silver Screen, "SAL-O-MAY."
This original ca. 1921 CLARION 1119 is in groovy E- condition; the label is MINT.
*****
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.
