[78-L] Nice Group of VICTOR 'SWING CLASSIC' records

[Dan Van Landingham]

I have a couple of those listed in my collection.I mentioned Hampton's "Gin for 
Christmas"
to a friend of mine in Texas,I have a very worn copy of it plus an equally 
battered "The
Heebie Jeebies(Are Rockin' the Town)"and "Flying Home".My late friend Al 
Hendrickson
owned the "Jam Session at Victor' 78.I have numerous other "Swing Classics" 
Victors:A
few by Tommy Dorsey,"Satan Takes a Holiday"."Nola","Weary Blues" and Larry 
Clinton's "Midnite in the Madhouse" plus a couple from the circa 1945 Victor set 
of the
"Bunny Berigan Memorial Album".I wore them out about 45 years ago.They were 
"Trees,
Black Bottom,Jelly Roll Blues,and Russian Lullaby.I owned them since 1965;I was 
14 at
the time.The others were acquired in the late '60s through  the early '70s.

I finally got a chance to look through a collection of records I bought last 
year and found several nice Victor 'SWING CLASSIC' labels, including one with 
Django Reinhardt and the Quintette of the Hot Club of France playing with 
Coleman Hawkins, Benny Carter, and Tommy Benford in Paris in 1937.
