When I first saw the video I thought you were going to talk about the rock band The Black Crowes!

Being an advanced collector of 50+ years, I can say that while I was aware of this disc, this is the first time that that I have seen the label and also hearing it.

I just started collecting a few months ago, and I have randomly acquired two copies of the first record! I have been a little scared to listen to it, let alone share it on my 78s channel.

Amazing stuff, thanks! I found out about the Two Black Crows through KZfaq about a year ago. I didn't know they were that big in comedy records! I also just found out today that for decades on the radio, Amos and Andy were voiced by white actors. Learn something new everyday, yessum.

I wonder if you are aware that Moran and Mack also made a 12 inch record on the Columbia 50000 series. I can't remember the titles, but I came across a copy in a collection I bought from a neighbor back in the early 70's when I was a teenager, new at collecting. She had been a professional dancer in a family act with her parents and sister in vaudeville when she was a little kid starting somewhere just before 1900. She had a large record collection mostly from the late 1920's. There were a number of great Jazz records in there too. I had a collector acquaintance at the time who was older than I was, who was a huge Moran and Mack fan. When I mentioned almost by accident that I had this record, he didn't believe me. He had been collecting for years and had never heard of it. When I showed it to him he almost fell over. I traded it to him for some Bessie Smith and Fletcher Henderson records. I haven't seen or heard about a copy since. One side of it has piano accompaniment by Lucky Roberts. Also, they are not billed as Two Black Crows on the labels. One side is Moran accompanied by Mack on one side and Mack accompanied by Moran on the other. The single most outstanding record from that collection was Vocalion 1099. Jimmy Bertrand's Washboard Wizards doing, I'm Goin Huntin/If You Want to Be My Sugar Papa, You Got to Be Sweet to Me, which includes Louis Armstrong playing trumpet from 1927. 78 Quarterly said there are approximately 25 copies out there. I guess that means that there are at least 26, because they didn't ask me. You seem to be one of the very few informed collectors here on You Tube. Thanks for your content.

Interesting. Wow, I feel foolish now. I saw these records, many, many times, and always thought there was just the one! It's so interesting that, in 1926, Freeman Gosden and Charles Carrell would "steal" this act and begin a radio show in Chicago called "Sam n' Henry". It would become the monstrously popular "Amos and Andy" weekly national radio show. I wonder why Moran and Mack themselves did not get offered to make their act a radio series.
