[78-L] Your Mother's Son-In-Law - BG and Billie Holiday on Columbia Blue Shellac

[78records at cdbpdx.com]

Thanks for all the info!  I traced the Wiki comment about 300 sold to Yahoo Answers from 2 years ago.  Not too encouraging.
 
I'm very happy to have stumbled upon this old recrod at an estate sale here in Portland on Sunday.  Other records from this sale include the first record by 'The Cotton Pickers' (Brunswick 2292), the first by the Friars Society Orchestra aka New Orleans Rhythm Kings (Gennett 4966), a 1926 Six Jumping Jacks - Harry Reser (Brunswick 3109), a Harmony 280-H by the Manhattan Dance Makers singing 'Tonight You Belong To Me' - made popular again in the 1950s by Patience and Prudence, and a 1929 Bing Crosby Columbia 1851-D (looks real good but plays all mumbly like).  
 
I'm beginning to think I should have brought the entire collection (approx 400-500 records) home instead of the 50 or 60 I bought.  Probably was a lot more good stuff that I don't know about, but storage space is becoming a significant issue.  
 
Thanks!! CDB

I recently acquired a blue shellac copy (Columbia 2856-D) of Benny Goodman and Billie Holiday performing Your Mother's Son-In-Law.  Wikipedia says only 300 copies of the original issue sold.  View and listen here:

I suspect my copy is a reissue - 1939 or so, however someone told me it was an original issue from 1933.  Any comments?  Got my fingers crossed...
