(From last year): I bought this ten-selection Christmas EP from eBay expecting "fake hit"-style tracks, but everything is accordion and percussion. The eBay ad either didn't mention the nature of the music, or I just failed to read the full description. "Produced by Pietro Deiro Publications," says the label, Pietro Deiro having been a famous and influential accordionist of the early 1900s. I have some acoustical Victor 78s by him that I haven't gotten around to hearing.
At the bottom of the label: "Instructional record to be used only with accompanying text." I don't have the text, but I found some images on eBay (other images included with zip). We get glimpses of the text, but not the whole thing:
$14.99 for the text alone. Well, I don't have an accordion, so I'll pass. But the disc is fun listening--more entertaining than you might imagine. If any of you, by a strange chance, have the text but not the record, this is your lucky day.
Arrangements by Pietro Deiro, Jr.
