[78-L] Five Feet of Swing

[Cary Ginell]

Yes. Quite nice. Many of the sides are from the mid-1930s and were available only in this form. Anyone know if the 78s were issued apart from this album? The record numbers are not consecutive (15013, 15038, 15039, 15041, 15042), but all indicate that they emanate from the album. The two Chick Webb sides date from Dec. 1937 and feature two very nice, and early, Ella vocals. Plus, a bonus for me: Wayman Carver flute solos! Discs are the post-war Decca brown label 'script' design. All discs are in E+ condition and the album is in spectacular shape. All I need is the booklet. Don't need the LP version - this will do quite nicely.
