Description

IN 1939, THOMAS "FATS" WALLER visited London for the second time, and was heartily well-received by the British.  Among other adventures, he appeared on British television (! see photo!) and alone at the piano (my favorite way of hearing him), he made this set of records for His Master's Voice, "THE LONDON SUITE":  


HMV 10059  1. "PICCADILLY" / 2. "CHELSEA" 

HMV 10060  3.  "SOHO" / 4. "BOND STREET" 

HMV 10061  5.  "LIMEHOUSE" / 6. "WHITECHAPEL" 


Fats is said to have improvised this suite in about forty minutes in the recording studio, drawing on his composer's vault of ideas, some of them recycled.  But ALL of it jolly good!  


These three 1941 HMV records are all in lovely EE- condition.  


PHOTO:  "Fats" Waller in front of the BBC-TV camera in 1939.  Yes, the Brits were broadcasting TV as early as 1936!  AND they weren't even the first!  The Germans had TV in 1935!  [See: "Nazi Television (1935)" on YouTube.]  


*****

 

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.
