This lot contains three 10-inch 78 RPM records featuring jazz pianist Raymond Scott. They are instrumental except where vocalists are mentioned (in parentheses) below. And four of the six sides are considered "hot" enough for inclusion in Brian Rust's iconic Hot Jazz Discography, so relevant discographic information is also provided (also in parentheses).
All three records showed up for the first picture, then they are shown individually, both sides, in the following order:
Columbia # 35585 - "Peter Tambourine" and "Bumpy Weather over Newark" by the Raymond Scott Quintet. (The Rust Discography gives a recording date in April, 1939, for both sides.)
Columbia # 36090 - "Let's Get Away from It All" (vocal by Gloria Hart) and "The Band Played on" (vocal by Clyde Burke by Raymond Scott and his New Orchestra. (The Rust Discography gives a recording date of April 14, 1941, for both sides.)
Audivox # 106 - "Honest Injun" and "Highland Swing" by Raymond Scott and his Orchestra. (This is the one that is not in Rust, probably because it misses the cutoff date of 1942. It is also a promotional copy, with white labels marked "Not for Sale.")
All three records fall within the VG to VG+ range, in terms of condition, still nice and shiny but with varying degrees of visible surface wear. They play through with no skips or jumps on my Audio-Technica turntable, and mostly just typical light background noise, but with some scattered clicks or pops or ticking. Because of variations in tracking ability, filtering technology and needle weights, I can offer no guarantees as to how well they will play on your equipment. Please also check the pictures for any label damage or inscriptions or stickers.
International Buyers – Please Note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. We won't under-value merchandise or mark the item as a gift on customs forms. Doing that is against U.S. and international laws.
COMBINED SHIPPING: See our seller list for other interesting and unusual items, in fact bid on several and you might save on shipping and handling. If you buy multiple items, and if it's feasible and cost-effective for us to ship the items together, we will gladly consider requests to combine shipping at a reduced cost. Just e-mail us, and we can provide combined shipping cost estimates on a case-by-case basis. Depending on weight and other considerations, we typically offer full shipping rate for the first item, then 50 cents or $1.00 per item. And if you are purchasing multiple items, please make the payment as a single payment, rather than trying to pay for each item separately. Oh, and this may sound obvious, but we can't reduce the shipping charges for items on which we offer free shipping.
