Eubie Blake & his Orchestra

Two of the three sides that pioneer ragtime pianist and vaudeville entertainer Eubie Blake did for Victor in 1931. Light scuffs and a few inaudible light scratches, some crackle in the right channel which fades out by the second chorus and appears to be in the stamper, not unique to this copy (my personal copy is E+ and has the same crackle). Plays with minor peak distortion only in the last chorus of both sides, using a 3.5-mil stylus. MP3 available on request. This record is from the personal collection of radio personality and music historian Barret “Dr. Demento” Hansen, who is starting to downsize portions of his collection.
