Description: UP FOR SALE IS BING CROSBY’S RECORDING DEBUT FROM 1926, “I’VE GOT THE GIRL” B/W “IDOLIZING”! THIS RECORD IS BILLED AS DON CLARK AND HIS LOS ANGELES BILTMORE HOTEL ORCHESTRA WITH BING CROSBY ON VOCALS. THE SINGLE MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE RECORDING CAREER OF BING CROSBY WHO WAS AN IDOL TO THE EARLY CROONERS SUCH AS FRANK SINATRA, PERRY COMO, AND TONY BENNETT, AND IS ALSO CONSIDERED THE FIRST “MODERN” POP STAR. BING’S FORST RECORDING SOLD VERY POORLY AND FELL INTO OBSCURITY UNTIL THE MARCH 25, 1953 ISSUE OF VARIETY MAGAZINE PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT’S REDISCOVERY TO WHICH LARRY CROSBY (BING’S BROTHER) CONFIRMED IT WAS BING’S FIRST COMMERCIAL RECORDING. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS RECORD IS INSANELY RARE AND HARDLY COMES UP FOR SALE GIVEN IT’S LOW SALES NUMBERS AND THE FACT THAT IT IS ALMOST 99 YEARS OLD! THIS COPY IS VERY WORN WITH A HAIRLINE CRACK AND A CHIP PRESENT AS PICTURED. REGARDLESS OF THE CONDITION ISSUES, THE RECORD REMAINS IN ONE PIECE AND HAS NICELY DISPLAYED LABELS. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK, THANK YOU!
