CONDITION: V+ / E This is a rare version of this record becasue, 1) This is an early Jimmie Rodgers, 2) This is a very hard to find V+/E condition for early Jimmie Rodgers, 3) The 'B' side is first release of a song from Jimmie Rodgers from his first recording session for Victor on Nov 30, 1927. Only 4 songs from this session were ever issued, 4) The 'B' side song is labeled "IF BROTHER JACK WERE HERE". This title was only used on the initial release of this record (VICTOR 21433) in 1928. This is very rare in any condition! Subsequent releases were labeled "MOTHER WAS A LADY", with some showing "IF BROTHER JACK WERE HERE" in parenthesis, 5) "IF BROTHER JACK WERE HERE" was recorded before Rodgers became defined as a yodeling singer and is one of the few songs where he does not yodel and 6) The author for this song was shown as J. Rodgers on this label. Subsequent printings of this label listed the true authors of this song - Edward B Marks. This is a 10" 78 rpm record -- see photos.
This record will be securely packed in a new box with cardboard pads, bubble wrap and packing peanuts or other fillers.
Thanks for looking !
