Description
SOME TOPICAL RAGTIME FROM 1914, here's HAGER'S BAND doing the syncopated fox-trot, "THE PANAMA WALK." In 1914, when the Panama Canal opened, a slew of compositions were fielded by Tin Pan Alley, and this is one of them. The flip side is by xylophonist ANDREW SETARO, accompanied by "Hager's Dance Orchestra," in the wildly popular "HUNGARIAN RAG."
A small rim flake intrudes on about ten rotations at the beginning of the Andrew Setaro side. The other is unafflicted.
This original 1914 Rex D 5063 is in E- condition; some scuffs and a few scratches. This is a VERTICAL CUT record, like a Pathé, playable only with a sapphire ball-cut stylus.
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.
