HERE'S a swell record from 1929 by BEN POLLACK AND HIS PARK CENTRAL ORCHESTRA:  "BASHFUL BABY." It's a cute tune, and a swell orchestration, but the real feature is the highly motivated, blisteringly hot clarinet solo by BENNY GOODMAN.  He takes a full chorus and leaves no prisoners! This alone is worth the price of admission. A highly recommended side!  


The flip, "I'VE WAITED A LIFETIME FOR YOU" by VICTOR ARDEN - PHIL OHMAN AND THEIR ORCHESTRA is a tune from the M~G~M film, "Our Modern Maidens."  Still a silent in 1929, this Joan Crawford starrer has this song running throughout as background music.  


This original 1929 "Scroll" Victor 22074 is in ever so slightly beat V+ condition. Still plays VERY well.  


PHOTO: Bad boy BENNY GOODMAN in 1929! He left Pollack shortly after this side was waxed.

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.
