ebay item # 120468962309%26

Here is the description of the item.

Side A is Duke Ellington (as The Jungle Band) playing "Creole Rhapsody" recorded January 20, 1931.

Side B is actually Frankie Trumbauer and his Orchestra playing "Honeysuckle Rose" (although the label says Duke Ellington's "Creole Rhapsody part 2"). According to Rust's Jazz Records (4th edition), Trumbauer recorded "Honeysuckle Rose" twice: the April 10, 1931 version was (supposedly) unissued on 78, and the June 24, 1931 version was issued on Brunswick 6159. No matrix number is shown on the record. I'm guessing this is the alternate version, recorded April 10, 1931.

E condition.

Now read Eekhoff's misrepresentation in his "Discovery" posting.

"Last week I replaced my worn copy of  Brunswick 6093 which couples Duke Ellington's "Creole Rhapsody" Parts 1 and 2 - or so I thought!
Actually, on this new copy, "Creole Rhapsody" Part 2 actually plays an alternate take of "Honeysuckle Rose" by Frank Trumbauer's Orchestra, recorded on 24 June 1931."

Eekhoff claims that he thought he was replacing his copy of Brunswick 6093. As he was the high bidder for this item, he knew darn well that the record he won did not have "Creole Rhapsody" Parts 1 and 2. As clearly stated by the ebay seller of this item, it was "Ellington/Trumbauer Brunswick 6093 Error Pressing RARE"  "Side B is actually Frankie Trumbauer and his Orchestra playing "Honeysuckle Rose" (although the label says Duke Ellington's "Creole Rhapsody part 2").

Another example of Eekhoff's falsifications and misrepresentaions designed to soothe his insatiable ego.

PS More errors from Eekhoff. In his posting in the Yahoo Bix group,

Eekhoff writes, "Sudhalter on the other hand didn't listen carefully - according to Haim he
mentions Tram AND the "King Jesters" (plural; or is this one of Haim's usual
mis-spellings?) for this take, and Art Jarrett AND the "King Jesters" for the
regular take. This is nonsense of course, there is only one vocalist per side."

It is, of course,  Eekhoff who writes nonsense. Listen to the two versions in the redhotjazz page and you will hear that both Frank Trumbauer and Art Jarrett are accompanied by the King's Jesters, John Ravenscroft, Ira Barstow, George Howard.
