Description
"RED ROSE RAG," a capital instrumental syncopated piece by Percy Wenrich, gets the deluxe treatment from ARTHUR PRYOR'S BAND, who could syncopate with the best of 'em. I noted, with a little shudder, that this was recorded in New York on April 12, 1912 - the very day the "Titanic" departed Southampton, for its date with destiny!
The other side, "'ROUND THE WORLD MEDLEY," is a potpourri of tunes from the show of that name, then running at the Hippodrome Theater. You hear: "Sweet Señorita," "It's a Long Lane," "In Venice," "Blarney of Killarny" and "My Old Town." Played expertly for dancing by THE VICTOR MILITARY BAND.
This original "patents" Victor 17138 is in super-clean E condition.
*****
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.
