Description
RUTH ETTING sings two songs from her starring role in the 1928 Ziegfeld stage production of "WHOOPEE!" :
"LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME" and "I'M BRINGING A RED RED ROSE."
"Love Me" was a massive hit and eventual evergreen standard, a "torch" ballad forever associated with Miss Etting. It was the eventual title song of her 1955 movie biography, starring DORIS DAY as Ruth. This 1928 record is iconic.
This original 1928 "Viva-Tonal" Columbia 1680-D is in fine EE- condition; a few scratches, negligible wear.
*****
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.
