Description
Here's that redoubtable dispenser of Klezmer tunes, KANDEL'S ORKESTER.
This is their epochal record of the iconic number that has signified "Jews" and "Jewishness" since it first appeared, "CHOOSIN KALLE MAZELTOV" ("Good Luck, Bride and Groom"), known to the world simply as "MAZEL TOV." Its first seven notes became a universal "Leitmotiv," used in every conceivable medium as an instant identifier, every time a person of even remotely Jewish ancestry makes an accidental entrance.
"BAPOLIER FREYLACH" ("Bapolier Song of Happiness"). Another lively dance, heard often at Jewish weddings.
This original 1917 "Bat Wing" "Jewish Series" Victor 77299 is in clean EE- condition.

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.
