A REALLY EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS RARE 1947 XMAS BLUES 78 CHRISTMAS SPIRITS FROM JULIA LEE AND HER BOY FRIENDS Christmas spirits by Julia Lee and her Boyfriends b/w CHARMAIN
Christmas Spirit's all around me Christmas Spirit's all around me I'm afraid old Santa won't be coming
Christmas Spirits by Julia Lee and her Boyfriends, from Kansas City Mo, recorded 13th November 1947. FEATURES Benny Carter Alto Sax, Dave Cavanaugh on Tenor and great Trombone from Vic Dickenson.
In 1944 she won a recording contract with Capitol Records, and a string of R&B hits followed, including "Gotta Gimme Whatcha Got" (#3 R&B, 1946), "Snatch and Grab It" (#1 R&B for 12 weeks, 1947, selling over 500,000 copies), "King Size Papa" (#1 R&B for 9 weeks, 1948), "I Didn't Like It The First Time (The Spinach Song)" (#4 R&B, 1949), and "My Man Stands Out". As these titles suggest, she became best known for her trademark double entendre songs, or, as she once said, "the songs my mother taught me not to sing". The records were credited to 'Julia Lee and Her Boy Friends', her session musicians including Jay McShann, Vic Dickenson, Benny Carter, Red Norvo, Nappy Lamare, and Red Nichols. Although her hits dried up after 1949, she continued as one of the most popular performers in Kansas City until her death in San Diego, California, at the age of 56, from a heart attack. ABOUT THIS RECORD:-
US CAPITOL 15203 10" SHELLAC 78rpm (1947) CONDITION - EX/EX+
POSTAGE STUFF Nothing in this world is "FREE" so if you see free postage it means the cost of the post is already in the starting price of the record - eBay have introduced "free postage" so that they can take a % cut of the Postal payment. I have INCLUDED £3.60 in the start price which just covers basic second class delivery in the THIS IS A FRAGILE 78 AND THE ACTUAL COMBINED COST OF SAFE PACKING AND POSTAGE BY 1ST CLASS MAIL / AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET IS - IN THE UK £ 5, EUROPE £ 8, AND REST OF WORLD IS £ 12. The £3.60 has been deducted from these postage options... Because of this new "Innovation" from eBaY There is now no formal way to offer POSTAGE DISCOUNTS for MULTIPLE ITEMS - BUT .. I AM HAPPY TO OFFER A POSTAGE REBATE FOR EVERY EXTRA 78rpm RECORD BOUGHT THAT GOES IN THE SAME POSTAL PACKET WHERE POSTAGE IS LISTED AS "FREE". (Ask for details before paying) 10" 78 RPM RECORDS NEED CAREFULLY PACKING, AND I CLAIM TO HAVE THE BEST PACKAGING IN THE WORLD FOR DISPATCHING THEM!! THE GREG'S GREAT'S SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A SPECIALLY DESIGNED INNER BOX MADE OUT OF 1" THICK POLYSTYRENE, WHICH THEN GOES INSIDE A DOUBLE CORREGATED STIFF OUTER CARDBOARD CARTON. THE BOXES CAN TAKE UP TO 21 RECORDS, USUALLY FOR MAILING OVERSEAS, I RECOMMEND NO MORE THAN 7 IN A BOX, OTHERWISE IT GOES OVER THE AIRMAIL SMALL PACKET MAXIMUM WEIGHT OF 2Kgs WHICH CAUSES A LARGE HIKE IN POSTAL RATES. I SEND OUT ON AVERAGE ABOUT 30 PARCELS A WEEK AND DISPATCH IS NORMALLY DONE ONCE A WEEK - SO IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR RECORD WITHIN A WEEK IN THE IF YOU REALLY HAVE AN URGENT REQUIREMENT FOR THE RECORD - BIRTHDAY PRESENT, WEDDING, FUNERAL etc PLEASE TELL ME - (BECAUSE I CAN'T READ MINDS!) I WILL DO MY BEST TO GET IT OUT FOR YOU URGENTLY. IF A RECORD ARRIVES CRACKED OR BROKEN DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS WITH THIS FANTASTIC PACKAGING I WILL REFUND THE MONEY IN FULL. - JUST SEND ME A QUICK SCAN - IF IT IS A VERY RARE RECORD I MAY ASK YOU TO SEND IT BACK OTHERWISE IT WILL BE YOURS TO KEEP OR DISPOSE OF.
