Columbia 809-D George Gershwin Do-Do-Do/Clap Your Hands 1926

Description

One of the great composers of American popular song, George Gershwin (1898-1937) plays “Do-Do-Do,” recorded November 8, 1926  and “Clap You’ Hands,” recorded three days later.  Both songs are from the hit 1926 musical, Oh, Kay, written by him and his brother Ira.  This is probably a rarity, hence the price tag.  Wear, plays well.  Condition V++

NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades.  Still, it can be a subjective undertaking.  I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually.  Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
