Ike Carpenter 45s with Maynard Ferguson

IKE CARPENTER, PACHUKO HOP / SANDU -- Aladdin 45-3172

Back on 1/15/53, Maynard entered the studio with Ike Carpenter to record an R&B classic entitled Pachuko Hop, as well as the track Sandu. This little Aladdin 45 is the original media on which this recording was released (although it was also issued on 78). Swingin'!!! These are RARE 45s. They're very, very hard to find.
COPY #1. This is the first copy of this rare little gem that I've ever had for sale on the website. They're THAT RARE!!! The labels on this copy are really clean and nice, with just a bit of wear visible. The vinyl has numerous light scuffs and surface scratches, and plays with quite a bit of background noise. Thus, unfortunately, it's only VG-. This one is yours for just $5.00.
COPY #2. Finally I have another copy. The labels on this one show a bit of wear on both sides, and on the Sandu side there's a dime-sized discoloration (slight darkness) from the prior removal of a price sticker. So the labels are EX-. The disc itself is EX-, as well, with some light surface scratches, and some background noise, especially in the softer passages. Still, a nice, solid copy. This one is $8.00.

IKE CARPENTER, AIN'T NOTHIN' NOTHIN' BABY WITHOUT YOU / SHOO MY BLUES AWAY -- Decca 9-28687

Back on 3/19/53, Maynard entered Radio Recorders in Hollywood to record these two tracks with the Ike Carpenter Orchestra. This little Decca 45 is the original media on which this recording was released (although it was also issued on 78). Swingin'!!! These are RARE 45s. They're very, very hard to find. And you can hear Maynard clearly, playing some very bluesy background passages.
COPY #1. This is the first copy of this rare little gem that I've ever had for sale on the website. They're THAT RARE!!! This one is a normal black label copy. The labels are very clean and nice except for a small "V" that looks like it was written in red pencil. The disc is not the best. It's got a lot of surface scuffing and light scratches. I just listened to it, and although it didn't skip, there were definitely some light clicks and background noise. So it's just VG- to VG, but keep in mind its extreme rarity. A slightly below average copy, it's priced accordingly, at $3.00.

IKE CARPENTER, WALKIN' TUNE / TENGARD -- Decca 9-28853

IKE CARPENTER, SADIE THOMPSON'S SONG / FANTASY STACCATO -- Decca 9-28894

Back on 8/22/53, Maynard entered Radio Recorders in Hollywood to record these two tracks with the Ike Carpenter Orchestra. This little Decca 45 is the original media on which this recording was released (although it was also issued on 78). Swingin'!!! These are RARE 45s. They're very, very hard to find.
COPY #1. This is the first copy of this rare little gem that I've ever had for sale on the website. They're THAT RARE!!! This one is a pink label promo version. The labels on this copy have had silver paint applied on each side to cover some sort of writing (apparently). A record dealer also rubber stamped "25c" on each side of the label. So the labels definitely have some problems. The vinyl itself is quite nice, with some light background noise audible in places. It's EX+. Due to the problems with the label, it's just $4.00.
COPY #2. This one has clean and nice labels, and NMINT vinyl!!! The labels are the normal black Decca labels. One of the nicest copies you could find. It's $15.00.
COPY #3. This one has clean and nice labels, and EX+ vinyl. The labels are the normal black Decca labels and the disc plays quite well. A very nice copy. It's $8.00.
