Item Description:
Here's a FANTASTIC and UNUSUAL Shellac Test Pressing of the great Hoagy
Carmichael Orchestra featuring Bix Beiderbecke, Jack Teagarden, Benny
Goodman, Joe Venuti, Ed. Lang, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Ray Lodwig, Bubber
Miley, Gene Krupa, and Carson Robison. This is a test of HMV8549, which is
"Georgia" backed with "Rockin' Chair". (The US Victor versions were on two
separate records, V-38139 and 23013) This test pressing is in visual and
aural NM condition (except for some lable peeling "Georgia" side as shown.)
It comes in an original HMV sleeve, also in very nice condition. These sides
are hard enough to find on conventional period 78s, but here's a TEST
PRESSING using a much more pure and expensive shellac compound that sounds
awesome! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a real piece of
recorded jazz history!
