Description

Only ONE record for sale this week, but by gosh, it's a LULU!  


The great BLIND BLAKE regales us, first with his bullet-proof East-Coast finger-picking guitar and vocal on the doleful "BLACK DOG BLUES"; then he is joined by his "Kazoo Band," for the romping "BUCK TOWN BLUES."  


Thing is, Paramount was so budget-conscious a label that the "Kazoo Band" is STILL just Blind Blake playing solo, only with a kazoo in his kisser!  You had to employ EVERY orifice to get by in this bizniss!  Versatility! Hi-Ho!   


THIS original, 1927 Paramount 12464 is in jaw-dropping, stunning EE+ condition.  It positively gleams. It's as clean a blues Paramount as you could possibly hope for.

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
