Clarence Williams & His Band - RCA Victor 38630 (1929)

Not too sure about this one. It is a vinyl (test?) pressing of one of the last records in Victor's famed 38000 series.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

**Was just informed that this is from a limited run pressed in 1964.**

Fred Elizalde & His Hot Music - British Brunswick 517 - Take 2 (1928)

Here we have an 11 inch test of Fred Elizalde on British Brunswick just unpacked from a collector's closet after having been stored for decades. Seems to be an unissued alternate take.

Acetate - Leo Parker, Joe Pass, Barney Kessel, Pete ? (1945)

I'm not big into post war jazz nor do I have much of it on 78 or Lp. I just came across this acetate in my garage featuring some names I recognize and one I can't identify. I searched the net a bit but couldn't find much information on the tracks by these musicians. I doubt that these are recordings of some long lost unpublished sides but does anyone have information on maybe what label this was recorded for or who the bassist was?
