[78-L] Timely Tune find

Cary Ginell soundthink at live.com
Wed May 18 13:25:04 PDT 2011 

I have the Devall and the Jim New (a pseudonym for Newton Gaines). Besides the Nawahi, the only other one I have is by Ben Friedman's Paramount Hotel Orch. b/w Dave's Harlem Highlights, which has a 10-groove rim flake on one side. Yes, I would put them in the category of hen's teeth rarities, although not nearly as rare as the RCA Victor Sunrise and the early black-on-blue Bluebird items, of which I have one each and have never seen another in circulation.
