26 Different 33 1/3 RPM Record Albums Associated with Washington, D.C.
Lot 714. 26 Different 33 1/3 RPM Record Albums Associated with Washington, D.C. All of these albums have some connection to the nation’s capital. For example, two feature the singing of Sol Gordon, a tenor known in the 1960s as the city’s “Singing Taxi Driver.” Nine albums are by U.S. military groups stationed in D.C.: the Air Force Band, the Airmen of Note (3, including a two-record set), the Air Force Singing Sergeants, the Army Band (2), the Navy Band and the Navy Band Jazz Ensemble. Local performers are the National Capital Area Band, the Chorus of the Potomac and the Fairfax High School Marimba Band. Five albums present religious music – by the Brothers of Washington, D.C., the Shorb Brothers Quartet, Jerry Rodgers and Bob Walters, First Baptist Church of D.C., and the Foundry Cathedral Choir. Three records contain U.S. and D. C. history: “Road to the White House” (1960-72), “Mr. President” and “Gallant Men” featuring Sen. Everett Dirksen. Two have a tangential connection to D.C.: “Gil Baca’s Band Plays Washington, D.C.” (interesting assortment featuring polkas, dulcimer music, schottisches, etc.), and an album of marches that pictures the U.S. Capitol. Rock receives a nod from the group and album named “dc motors” and radio station WAVA FM in an 1983 anthology of new groups titled “Washington Rocks.” The dc motors band has been compared to the Ramones and performs reggae and ballads, as well as rock. Also included is a 78 rpm record made at the Edgewood Recording Studio with classical music by Peter and Susan Ashley. The album jackets average ex, and the records, ex-m. About a half dozen have prices in grease pencil on the front or back covers. Call for details. No returns for any reason. Also: three 45 rpm records, one with the Riggs Theme, “Washington Celebration,” one by the Howard University Gospel Choir and one celebrating “A Night at La Nicoise Restaurant.”
Minimum Bid $10.
