Description

"I'm interested in jazz, blues, country music and some ethnic music from the 1920s, and to lesser extent, the '30s"

ALS signed “R. C.,” penned on the reverse of a 5.75 x 4.25 postcard of Crumb's stylistic play on the word 'Eternity,' January 3, 2007. Written from Sauve, France, a letter to Utah artist and Highland High School art instructor Patrick Eddington, in part: "It's nice to know that Ken Sanders feels that he owes me some 78 records. It's also nice of you to volunteer to go over there and select some for me…sure, I'd love you to select some for me, if in fact, he has any that I'm interested in, and how would you know what to look for?? There's so much you need to know; labels, time periods, types of music…I'm interested in jazz, blues, country music and some ethnic music from the 1920s, and to lesser extent, the '30s. But how can you identify such records.? How best to do this?? Don't bother with the idea of making a list…it's much too time consuming & might be a total waste if there's nothing I'm interested in…Let's just start with country music & blues on Black 'Scroll' label Victor, 'Lightning' label Brunswick, Okeh 'Electric' (Red or Black label), Black label Columbia, Vocalion (Black, White & Gold, or Black & Gold label), Champion (Red or Black label), Supertone, Superior, Silvertone, Challenge, Kerwin, Paramount, Broadway, Conqueror, Oriole, Perfect, Banner, Melotone. See, already it's overwhelming, huh??" In fine condition.
