[78-L] Rhapsody

[Harold Aherne]

Can't say if the Frank Black version has been reissued, but it can be found at
 
http://www.redhotjazz.com/rhapsody.html
 
along with a listing of other known recordings of the Rhapsody made during
Gershwin's lifetime.

I should have remembered before posting that this is Levant's SECOND 
recording of the RIB.  His first was on Brunswick with Frank Black and 
his Orch with Harry Reiser added on banjo.  Same cuts as the 
Whiteman/Gershwin Victors on 2 12-inch sides, and Black is listed in the 
ledgers as the arranger.  Dec 2, 1927, mxs XE25382-83 and XE25384-85 
with takes 82 and 85 issued.  US and Australia Brunswick 20058, British 
20059, and German A5040.  I haven't listened to it in a while but I 
remember it as being pretty good.  Anybody know of any reissues?
