Description
Here is a VERY hot record, a jazz double-header by two great bands:
On the "A" side, recorded in New Orleans in 1925, here is "THE OWLS' HOOT" by THE NEW ORLEANS OWLS, a tremendous band I highly recommend you familiarize yourself with immediately. BENJIE WHITE (clarinet) and BILL PADRON (cornet) head up a band of absolute wild men, in this side from their first session.
The "B" side, recorded in Atlanta in 1926, gives us WARNER'S SEVEN ACES in their hot magnum opus, "BREAKIN' THE LEG."
As the titles suggest, this is music for rolling up the carpets and making WHOOPEE! It's actually a miracle that any copies of this record survived the Saturday nights they were meant for.
This original black-label Columbia 605-D is in well-survived V+ condition. Considering what it's been through, that's clean!
*****
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.
