Description
I was recently invited to sell a wonderful collection of old jazz, blues and big band era records that came from the estate of a Mrs. Margie M. Raymer. Mrs Raymer was the voice heard on a late night jazz radio station during the late 50s and early 60s in western Kentucky. Her collection consist of 45 rpms, 33 1/3rds and the older 78s (individual records and box or album sets). Lots and lots of great legendary artist including Billie Holiday, Leadbelly, Ben Webster, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Lightening Hopkins, The Dorseys and Glenn Miller. Also many lesser known artist including Bunk Johnson, Joe Reichman, Mimmie Noone, James Johnson, Nellie Lutcher Freddie Slack, Lu Waters & The Delta Rhythm Boys. Mrs Raymer was often sent demo or promotional records for air play (some seldom played) and frequently corresponded with famous artist including Louis Armstrong and Dave Brubeck. Mrs Raymer took very good care of her records. Most were kept in protective sleeves or record album books. Through the month of December I will be listing her wonderful treasures on ebay. HERE WE HAVE a very nice four record (78 rpms) set featuring Billie Holiday titled BILLIE HOLIDAY SINGS. Mercury Record Set #C-118. Songs include Easy To Love, You Turned The Tables On Me, I Only Have Eyes For You, These Foolish Things, Blue Moon, You Go To My Head, East Of The Sun & Solitude. This four record box set is original and in excellent (nearly new) condition. Light wear to the box. Records are clean and clear. Apparently rarely played . A truly marvelous bit of early jazz and blues history. This item is heavy. High USA bidder pays $4.00 for media rate postage. Combine and save. Thanks for lookin' and gooooood luck.
