Ike Carpenter 78s with Maynard Ferguson

IKE CARPENTER, PACHUKO HOP / SANDU -- Aladdin 3172

Here's Maynard with Ike Carpenter on two original 78 RPM tracks recorded 1/15/53. These are pretty rare discs. This is very early R&B, and Maynard comes through loud in clear in the high register.
COPY #1. This is the first copy of this rare disc that I've ever had for sale on the website. It's only about the third one I've ever seen. The labels on this copy show some spindle and light ring wear, but there is no sticker damage or other problems like you'd typically see on these early 78s. The disc itself isn't the best. There are numerous scuffs and scratches, although it does play through without skipping. It's just GOOD (which actually means "not so good".) It's $4.00.
COPY #2. Just in, this is only the second copy of this rare disc that I've ever had for sale on the website. The labels on this one are super clean and nice -- like new! The disc itself has some scuffs and light scratches. I'd rate it as VG to VG+. Due to its rarity, it's $10.00.
COPY #3. Just in, this one has super clean and nice labels. The disc itself has quite a few scuffs and a very few light surface scratches, but it's glossy and nice, otherwise. A very decent copy, rating an EX-. It's $11.00

IKE CARPENTER, CRAZY CRAZY / (MAMA) HE TREATS YOUR DAUGHTER MEAN -- Decca 28668

Back on 3/19/53, Maynard entered the studio with Ike Carpenter to record these two tracks. Most MF collectors don't have these relatively rare tunes in their collections. These 78s are very hard to find, and I've scoured the country looking for them.
COPY #1. This is a pink label PROMO copy. This is the first copy of this rare little gem that I've ever had for sale on the website. The labels on this copy are a bit dingy, with writing on each side. The disc itself is not so hot. It's only GOOD (which really means "not so great"). A decent space filler in case you can never find a better copy of this rare disc. This one is just $3.00.
COPY #2. This is a pink label PROMO copy. There is a number written on each side of the label -- probably a catalog number for a radio station. Otherwise, the labels are clean and nice. The acetate disc itself has a few scuffs and light scratches but still rates an EX-. Actually, one of the better copies I've seen, it's $11.00.

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

Back on 3/19/53, Maynard entered the studio with Ike Carpenter to record these two tracks. Most MF collectors don't have these relatively rare tunes in their collections. These 78s are very hard to find, and I've scoured the country looking for them.
COPY #1. This is a pink label PROMO copy. This is the first copy of this rare little gem that I've ever had for sale on the website. The labels on this copy are clean and nice, with zero damage. The disc itself is a solid EX, with only minor surface issues. It's one of the nicer copies available, I'm positive. Due to its rarity, $20.00.
COPY #2. This is a pink label PROMO copy. The labels on this copy are clean and nice, with zero damage. The disc itself is a solid EX, with only minor surface issues. It's a great copy. Due to its rarity, $20.00.

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

Back on 8/22/53, Maynard entered the studio with Ike Carpenter to record these two tracks. Most MF collectors don't have these relatively rare tunes in their collections. These 78s are very hard to find, and I've scoured the country looking for them.
COPY #1. This is a pink label PROMO copy. This is the first copy of this rare little gem that I've ever had for sale on the website. The labels on this copy are a bit faded. The Walkin' Tune side has a spot which is a bit darker, indicating that a sticker was removed at some point in time. The disc itself has numerous surface scuffs and light scratches. I'd rate this copy as VG-, at best. Although rare, due to the condition issues this one is just $6.00.
COPY #2. This is a pink label PROMO copy. The labels on this one show some definite damage. On both sides there's label tearing and residue where stickers and/or clear tape were partially removed. So the labels are definitely ratty. The disc itself is pretty nice, with just a few short surface scratches visible. It's in the EX- range. Overall, this copy is in the VG- range. It's $6.00.
COPY #3. This is a pink label PROMO copy. The labels on this one are super clean and nice except that someone wrote "128-C-3" on each label in ink in small blue letters. Otherwise, the labels are pristine. The disc itself has some light scuffs and surface scratches, and rates a VG+. A nice, solid copy, this one is $17.00.
