 Original Rare 2010 U.S. 78rpm Vinyl Pressing of TOM WAITS & THE PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND 10" 78 RECORD "TOOTIE MA IS A BIG FINE THING" / "CORINNE DIED ON THE BATTLEFRONT." Mr. Waits traveled to New Orleans in 2009 to record two songs with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band for the critically acclaimed project Preservation: An album to benefit Preservation Hall and the Preservation Hall Music Outreach Program, “Tootie Ma Is A Big Fine Thing” , and “Corrine Died On The Battlefield”. Originally recorded by Danny Barker in 1947, these two selections are the earliest known recorded examples of Mardi Gras Indian chants. These two tracks are handsomely packaged in a special limited edition 78 rpm format record, complete with picture sleeve, each signed and numbered by Preservation Hall Creative Director Ben Jaffe. Labels - near mint. Picture Sleeve - near mint. Vinyl - near mint.  This record has not been played, it was bought and has only been taken out of the sleeve to photograph.  The record was strictly limited to 504 copies worldwide this is an extremely rare modern musical artifact. This is hand-numbered #408 and personally signed by Ben Jaffe, Creative Director of Preservation Hall in New Orleans, LA

This is a great piece for any Tom Waits collector.  It is very rare and is disappearing from the market very quickly.  Buyer to pay  $4.00 shipping.  Cost for insurance will be calculated at the end of the auction if requested.  I highly recommend shipping this item with insurance, but it will be the winners choice.  International bidders welcome, but postage must be calculated based on the country the record is being delivered to.  Bid with confidence as I have been on ebay a long time.  Please email me with any questions.
