78 rpm jazz, hot dance band, personality from the 1920s-30s big band era

Perfect 15872- Cab Calloway Orchestra- Reefer Man/ Minnie the Moocher. Condition E- (excellent minus)...Two great original early 30s recording by the King of Hi de Ho, Cab Calloway. First is his theme song, Minnie the Moocher, coupled with Reefer Man...The lyrics to the latter made it a staple in the 1970s-80s LP reissues of reefer songs about drugs, marijuana, pot, etc...Now that pot is becoming legal again, its a good anthem!....Reefer Man was performed on film in the 1933 Paramount musical comedy International Hosue with W.C. Fields


They are play graded on a modern turntable using a new Stanton 2.7 mil stylus. I have been collecting, buying, selling, packing and shipping for decades so have experience in all of these aspects, so please feel free to bid with confidence!

Winner pays postage at cost. Domestic and international bidders welcome. Paypal accepted. Please see other auctions for more 78s as I am happy to combine shipping to save postage. Media mail shipping in the US...First Class International for overseas..plus $3 per parcel to help offset the cost of new boxes, cardboards, packing material..That charge is per box, not per record, so multiple wins shipped together are economical!

Thanks
