Description
This record by PICKARD'S CHINESE SYNCOPATORS, is a terrific example of a Vaudeville "Flash Act," like All-Girl orchestras, or a stage full of acrobats. Pretty damned good string players, a terrific band, they were not Chinese, but Filipinos, who could rock great oriental costumes; whose manager, James Pinkard, massaged the mass media on their behalf (radio, film, records and live performances) and got them booked regularly, comfortably billed third on the bill! Probably worked them to pieces! They appeared in the U.S. and England, and were a smash wherever they played.
This HMV is from one of their British tours, in 1928. They tackle the current hits "STAY OUT OF THE SOUTH" and "RAG DOLL."
This original 1928 "Full Colour Nipper" HMV B-5528 is in swell E 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.
An Unsolicited Testimonial!: "Superbatone is one of the coolest people on eBay - seriously. An excellent source for music, knowledge, and whimsy, and an asset to the community who cares about music and its preservation. It goes without saying that he is an expert in all facets surrounding 78’s and their content."
