[78-L] Most Prized Record

[Taylor Bowie]

Interesting pick...I was thinking of the other Miller Blue Wax of Moonlight 
on the Ganges b/w A Blues Serenade as one of my prime prizes.

As a group...maybe my Anson Weeks MacGregor & Solies from 1932 would be at 
the top of the list...but it would be one long list,  no matter how hard I 
tried to prune it.  More musical faves  (not selected for rarity)...

The Lee Wiley vocals with Johnny Green,  Glen Gray and Leo Reisman,  with 
the latter esp. Got the South in My Soul.

My full run of Goodman Blue Waxers which I bought from Russ Connor in 
1978-79.

My two Steve Washington Vocalions...yeah,  I recall a bunch of you don't go 
for him,  but I love those records.

The Ethel Waters  Columbia of Shake That Thing.

The Johnny Mercer Capitol of "Personality" with the Pied Pipers and the 
fantastic Paul Weston studio band accomp.  That record always gives me a 
zing,  played at very loud volume.

The Jimmy Noone Vocalion of I Know That You Know.

My brand new copy of Celestin's It's Jam Up on a nice Viva Tonal Columbia.

The Morton Victor of Someday,  Sweetheart...has always been my fave Morton 
disc

The Earl Hines Brunswick of Julia.

The Jack Shilkret Melotone of  from 1936 of  I Love You From Coast to 
Coast...the last gasp of the ARC studio bands,  and a record which is about 
as flawless as they come for the pop-swing genre.

The Columbia 4-record set of A Night At The Stork Club with Sonny Kendis and 
his Orch.,  esp. You're The Cream in My Coffee.

Late Kay Kyser Columbias (1942  and post war),  including one of the great 
band vocals of all time:  Michael Douglas on That's The Beginning of the 
End...wonderful example of how commercialism and great music can fit 
together.

Any vocal by Buddy Stewart,  with Krupa or wherever.

Woody Herman Columbias,  esp.  the loud ones like Apple Honey, 
Woodchopper's Ball and later on Four Brothers.

And on and on and on....
