Description
[THIS WEEK, I’m offering several records out of a MINT DEALER’S STOCK of early ("Patents" and "Bat Wing") Victors. I just unearthed them in the course of my search for goodies for you. All are clean as can be, in their original dealer’s sleeves, untouched for decades. Some show signs of minor use, as if they were demos in the store. Others are pristine!]
HARRY THOMAS was a first-rate Canadian pianist who was one of the mainstays of the "Novelty Ragtime" movement up north, along with his friendly rival and sometimes co-conspirator, Willie Eckstein. On this disc, Harry plays his own co-composition, 'DELIRIOUS RAG" and on the flip, Harry's "apologetic" arrangement of "A CLASSICAL SPASM."
THIS original 1917 "Bat Wing" Victor 18229 is in immaculate E++ condition, in its original, stock store sleeve. On the back side of the sleeve, note the gratuitous 1914 endorsement by Vernon Castle for the Victor dance records then sweeping the country!

*****
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.
