[78-L] Tussey's auction

[Malcolm Rockwell]

The Nawahi TT was a very popular record. It is one of the commonest TTs 
out there, if one can consider any TT "common"! I have copies of "I Want 
To Dream By The Old Mill Stream" & "When The Moon Comes Over The 
Mountain" on MW M-4358 (takes -2/-1)(US), TT C-1569 (takes -3/-3) (US), 
Vi 23538 (takes -2/-1) (Can) and DG AE 3697 ("Mill Stream" take -2) 
(Spain). The flip of the Disco Grammofono is as by the Hilo Hawaiian 
Orchestra, but is actually a tune by Burt Lown!
Great catch, Cary. I too saw it on eBay and wondered who got it.

Glad I did because it turns out it's by Bennie Nawahi's Hawaiian's (using the pseudonym "King's Hawaiians"). The song titles looked familiar so I looked it up in Rockwell to confirm it. I have an E copy on Montgomery Ward already but I only have 3 other Timely Tunes, purchased in UnTimely gaps in the calendar (I think I find one every five years or so), so I'm glad to win it. Now, we'll see if it is indeed VG as described.
