Wanted: Bonsoir My Love Josephine Baker

[bruv]

Looking for a 78 of this great song. Anyone have one for sale?

Nop... I do have only two, in fact; this one:

Paris, Oct 22-23, 1930
Columbia DF-229
JOSEPHINE BAKER & M ADRIEN LAMY V + MELODIC JAZZ CASINO PARIS / M EDMOND MAHIEUX
— j'ai deux amours (vincent scotto, geo koger, h varna) — Mx. (w)l 2511 2
— petite tonkinoise (vincent scotto, christine, villard) — Mx. (w)l 2508 1

This is not listed in Ross Laird's Moanin' Low discography, mentioning only Co DF-230.

And this one, which I find more interesting, as it is an early Spanish Odeon pressing of a French acoustic recording,

JOSEPHINE BAKER V + JAZZ BAND
Paris, Oct. 1926
Odeon 102205/6, originally A49170/1
— that certain feeling (grata impresion) (gershwin) — Mx. ki 921 1 nº2
— who? (quien?) (j kern) — Mx. ki 920 n2 =

But I don't like none of them. Especially the second I kept for being a rare issue, but I find Josephine meaows out the songs, not singing. It's one of these cases you keep for its rarity or historical/discographical interest, not for the music.

Here's the only issue I could find- looks like it is on 50s red label US Columbia,

I think it's one of her best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNd_Ti2wLwk

Thanks for the replies. It is such a great song and played on a wind-up, it would take you back in time.

Stick a small Bluetooth speaker in your horn and play the YouTube version... you don't have to wind the machine, change the needle and it sounds just like it would if you did...
