Condition B+ / B: tears, losses, creases and abrasions in margins and along vertical and horizontal folds; staining and pencil notations in margins. Paper. A classic, early “Rock ‘N Roll” Rhythm and Blues revue. When the producers of shows this early put them together, they really had a different idea of what constituted “Rock ‘N Roll.” This revue, for example, starred Duke Ellington’s orchestra and Lionel Hampton, on the same stage with Rock ‘n Roll stars like The Clovers and Ruth Brown. It also starred “Little Buck,” Mantan Moreland and the Delta Rhythm Boys. [1,000/1,500] 260 261
