CONDITION: EXCELLENT. ELVIS PRESLEY SONGWRITER BEN WISEMAN NAME ON THE SLEEVE! SOUND SAMPLE ON YOUTUBE - BUDDY HARPER ACETATE 6

THIS ONE HAS TWO TAKES OF AN R&B POPCORN SONG "BOSTON" AND THE FLIPSIDE IS 4 TRACKS FROM A FEMALE R&B SINGER - HEAR!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED THESE ACETATES OF SESSION MUSICIAN, BUDDY HARPER. WHEN BUDDY PASSED AWAY IN 1985, HIS NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR AND FRIEND, PURCHASED THESE ACETATES AT HIS ESTATE SALE. AFTER A FEW DECADES, SHE PASSED AWAY, THEN THE RECORDS WENT TO HER SON, AND THAT'S WHO I PURCHASED THEM FROM. INFORMATION ABOUT BUDDY HARPER ON THE INTERNET SAYS HE WAS A SESSION GUITAR PLAYER, HARMONICA, ARRANGER, COMPOSER AND SONGWRITER IN INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA FROM THE LATE 40'S TO THE 80'S, CROSSING A WIDE PATH OF BLUES, JAZZ AND R&B. THERE IS SOME INFORMATION ON SOME OF THE RECORD LABELS, SOME, UNFORTUNATELY, HAVE NO INFO. A FEW NOTABLE NAMES ARE TED BRINSON, BUDDY COLLETTE, DAN GRISSOM, JOHN BUSBY, MARVIN PHILLIPS, WILBERT BARRANCO AND DARLENE ROBBINS AND OTHERS. I'M NOT SURE WHAT SONGS HAVE BEEN RELEASED AND WHAT HAS NOT. IF SOMEONE HAS MORE INFO ON THIS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LET US KNOW AND WE'LL POST IT ON THE LISTING. AFTER LOOKING AROUND THE NET, I CAN'T FIND ANY OF THESE TITLES/ARTISTS, SO I ASSUME THIS IS UNRELEASED MATERIAL. BUYER IS ALSO PURCHASING THE RIGHTS OF USAGE, IF THE BUYERS CHOOSES THE RELEASE THE MATERIAL TO THE PUBLIC. A UNIQUE OPPOURTUNNITY FOR AN ENTERPRISING RECORD LABEL. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO BUY THEM ALL, MAKE AN OFFER AND I'LL CONSIDER IT. THE PICTURES SHOWN HERE WERE NOT FOR SALE, BUT THEY ALLOWED ME TO PHOTOGRAPH THEM TO GET A BETTER OVERALL IDEA OF THE RECORD COLLECTIONS' ORIGINS. EBAY ONLY ALLOWS A 60 SECOND SOUND/VIDEO, SO I'LL DO THE BEST I CAN. THANKS FOR LOOKING,,, STEVE
