HERE is one of the scarcer "Potato Head Columbias" from 1930 by PAUL WHITEMAN AND HIS ORCHESTRA: "SITTIN' ON A RAINBOW."  A lovely fox trot, with a vocal trio and a full chorus of Frank Trumbauer's C-Melody saxophone. The enchanting waltz, "OLD NEW ENGLAND MOON," occupies the flip side.  

This is one of the last records by the "Imperial" Whiteman band, 30 strong, before he downsized to eighteen musicians (and dropped a hundred pounds!) to meet the Depression head-on. 

This original 1930 "Viva-Tonal" "Potato Head Label" Columbia 2224-D is in solid E condition. 

***** 

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.
