Description
HERE is a tune that evidently has lived forever, since it first was performed in January, 1941: "BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY" by THE ANDREWS SISTERS. It is ranked at No. 6 in the Recording Industry Assn. of America (RIAA)'s "Songs of the Century." Its popularity was helped along the way by Bette Midler's affectionate rendering in 1972.
This is a 78-RPM first edition, an original blue-label American Decca 3598. "Bugle Boy" is a clean EE+. The flip side, "BOUNCE ME BROTHER WITH A SOLID FOUR," has some species of gunk embedded in the grooves. This looks removable, possibly with "Goo Gone" and a little elbow grease. I grade this side E-. Averaging a still-agreeable "E."
N.B. This record has sold for as high as $450., and often for more than $150., so I've chosen what seems to be a reasonable minimum.
*****
These records are from my private collection, which has been accumulating since 1967. Now I 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.
