Description

ALL THIS WEEK I WILL BE LISTING VERY RARE AND COLLECTIBLE 78 RPM RECORDS. CHECK BACK EVERY DAY TO SEE WHAT I'VE ADDED. I WILL COMBINE WINNING AUCTIONS TO SAVE YOU IN POSTAGE. tHIS AUCTION FEATURES:

By 1905 the lateral-cut disc record had assumed the basic form it would take for the next four decades. Shellac-based thermoplastic compounds — basically unchanged since their first use in Berliner’s discs in the 1890s — remained the standard pressing material. The notable exception was the Marconi Velvet Tone disc, a semiflexible laminated celluloid disc produced by the American Graphophone Company (Columbia).

Egbert Austin "Bert" Williams (November 12, 1874 – March 4, 1922) was one of the preeminent entertainers of the Vaudeville era and one of the most popular comedians for all audiences of his time. He was by far the best-selling black recording artist before 1920. In 1918, the New York Dramatic Mirror called Williams "one of the great comedians of the world."

Williams was a key figure in the development of African-American entertainment. In an age when racial inequality and stereotyping were commonplace, he became the first black American to take a lead role on the Broadway stage, and did much to push back racial barriers during his career. Fellow vaudevillian W.C. Fields, who appeared in productions with Williams, described him as "the funniest man I ever saw – and the saddest man I ever knew."

This one-sided Marconi record numbered 0294 features Bert Williams singing Here It Comes Again. The record is in very good+ condition with little wear. Buyer will include $5 for ecomony shipping.
