TITLES:   Master L-0375-1 Skating (sic) at the Kit Kat

CONDITION:  E-

DESCRIPTION:

Two sided blue-wax shellac test pressing of two takes by Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra recorded in Hollywood in December 1936 but never released on 78.  Overall light inaudible rubbing with no groove wear pattern. 

L-0375-1 "Skating at the Kit Kat" was remade as "Scatting at the Kit Kat" in March 1937, and that version was issued on 78.  Much later, L-0375-1 was issued on LP as "Scattin' at the Cotton Club", and vinyl tests of L-0375-1 are known.

Take one (L-0376-1) of "Black Butterfly" was released on Brunswick 8044, but L-0376-2  is only found on shellac and is exceptionally rare.
