A series of great  JAZZ Records from early Ragtime to Beb-Bop on 78 rpm Victrola Records

Léo Daniderff (born Angers, France 1878; died Rosny-sous-Bois, France 1943) was a French composer of the pre-World War II area, possibly of foreign descent.

His 1917 comical song, Je cherche après Titine (lyrics by Louis Mauban and Marcel Bertal), became world-famous due to Charlie Chaplin singing it in gibberish in Modern Times, especially because it was the first time his character ever spoke in the movies. The title means I am looking for Titine, and Titine is the diminutive of some feminine first names like Martine and Clémentine.

Titina is the famous nonsense song that Charlie Chaplin sings in Modern times, without words, but more suggestive, since he lost the lyrics when he popped his celluloid cuffs: Nonsense song about the Spanish Queena Titina with everything that rhymes: Argentine, Palestina(of Puzzles of 1925)/ Equally Nonsense: O Katharina from the famous Paris Russian emigre production La Chauve Souris (which is NOT to be confused with the Fledermaus) :

Int Novelty Orch, Arthur Hall refrain

10" 78 rpm record

Condition:

EXCELLENT MINUS, faint rubs, 3 mm light scratch on Titina

 

TITINA

 

I've always been a restless rover, in search of femininity.
I've met the pretty girls all over, but only one appealed to me.
My loving heart I gayly tossed her, this Spanish kid in old Madrid,
She captured me and then I lost her, and ever since I'm off my lid.
I never will forget her face,
I'm searching for her ev'ry place.

REF.:I'm looking for Titina, Titina, my Titina,
I've searched from Palistina, to London and Peru.
I'll die without Titina, I can't eat my farina,
I don't want Rose or Lena, Titina I want you.
Ah! Mama! Ah! Papa!

 

KATHARINA

The verse tells how Heinie came to Yankee Land from Rotterdam, went to
the follies, then returned home to Katharina, lamenting how to keep
his love she must be leaner, "There's so much of you, two could love
you. Learn to swim, join a gym, eat farina. Unless you're leaner I'll
have to build a big arena, you're such a crowd, my Katharine, I got a
lot when I got you." In the second verse she becomes leaner and so
wows him that in the chorus all he can say is "O Katharina" over and
over again.

A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING:

As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.

If for any reason your transaction was NOT SATISFACTORY, pls contact me and I will work something out with you. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A REASON TO GIVE ME A NEGATIVE RATING or a LOW STAR RATING.

Quick note on grading:

The Grade (Excellent to Fair, I don't give Mint) refers to the WEAR of the record. Any other defects are stated separately

When I listen to a record, I may also give it an aural grade (again E to F), and make a SUBJECTIVE judgment of the pressing quality for hiss and surface noise.
"SUPERQUIET" is basically noiseless, like a vinyl pressing.
"VERY QUIET" is an exceptionally quiet record for a given pressing.
"Quiet" is a record that is a great example without undue noise for a give pressing.

These judgments are SUBJECTIVE and will depend one the styli, phonograph etc. you use on your own equipment.

Pls check my other auctions for more great records and phonograph items:

Multiple item shipping: I am happy to combine items for shipment in one parcel.

 

If you win multiple items, pls send me an INVOICE REQUEST to calculate the correct postage. Ebay check out will not give you the multiple item discount!

Records will be packed safely between corrugated cardboard in a sturdy box with plenty of padding for safe shipment.

Shipment is usually Media Mail, unless another service is requested. Shipping is at your risk, I will be happy to insure items at your cost.

I charge actual postage plus a small fee for packing materials

As always, I guarantee your satisfaction. If you don't like the item, just return it, and I will refund the full purchase price.

If you are in the San Francisco area, I encourage pick-up in person.

US Domestic Shipping:

Here is a guideline for US Media Mail Shipping:

Prices below are for regular 78 rpm records. Up to about 5 records, I will ship Edison Discs for the same rates. Albums from Album Sets count as 1 record. Above that and for international shipments, it will be actual weight plus a small packing charge (1-3$ depending on size of shipment)

1 record: 4.50 – 5.00$

2 records: 5.75$

5 records: 7.50$

10 records: 9.50$

MANY MORE RECORDS: Don't worry. I safely ship 40 - 50 pounds of records double boxed in moving boxes, and even then Media Mail will probably not exceed 30$.

Please send me a message if you would like to lower your shipping rates!

 

International Buyers:

All'attenzione degli acquirenti italiani:
