Good point! I thought about including that one since I enjoy Ellis's work, but I didn't want to be confusing by including an OKEH. I presume a lot of people that watch the channel wouldn't know that Columbia was doing the OKEH discs at that point, and I decided to hold off until I do my Segar Ellis video. I ended up with a stack of about 20 unreleased discs from his estate after he died which I will put in a future video. The OKEH picture label (and sleeve) will help convey what a big star he was in his day.

@@MarkAtnip 20 unreleased discs? Sounds like an interesting video!

@@JazzCrazy I hope so. Some of them aren't very good, but a few of them are quite nice. I think the reason they weren't released is due to the fact they sound "1930's" and they were recorded in the 1940's. They were a bit dated.

That's a NICE FIND! I have only seen a couple of those in decades. Capehart sent out those discs as Christmas gifts for clients! The ones handed out as Capehart Christmas gifts have a special label on the back where the client's name could be written, while others have other things on the flip side. (There is one made for the Coast Guard, for instance) I believe the original was recorded in the Electro-Vox Studios in Los Angeles.

@@MarkAtnip yup mines one of those christmas ones, got one of those hit of the week with valle on the bakc in the lot and 2 potato heads (my baby dont mean maybe and oh you have no idea)

@@78urt Any time you find a group of discs with that kind of content, it's a GOOD day. (actually, a good month!)

@@MarkAtnip you bet!

@@MarkAtnip do you post anywhere else? i believe ive seen you in aps

Another video for me to do! : ) I like discs that try to capture the "live" feel, and there were several discs in the 30's that included an introduction (as was common on the early discs from Berliner, Victor, Columbia, etc...) at the beginning of the record as if it was being announced at a live event. Thanks for sharing this info!
