Description
Not underrated but under-recorded, Oklahoman Lee Wiley made her first recordings on Victor as a vocalist with Leo Reisman and his Orchestra in the early 1930s, then sides for Decca in 1934, but no more until these eight sides for the specialty Liberty Music Shop label issued as an album set in 1939. These are classy performances by a classy lady. Cover has John De Vries art. White ink price mark on cover. Records show wear but play well.

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.
