Description
For your consideration is a rare vintage 10 inch 78 rpm by Tony Hollins entitled Traveling Man Blues b/w Tease Me Over Blues. Tony Hollins was a delta blues musician who spent most of his life in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He had a few recording forays with Okeh and then later Decca, but never achieved fame or recognition. His records today are quite rare. Instead his greatest legacy is as the major musical influence to John Lee Hooker. In fact, Hollins was the one to give Hooker his first guitar and teach him Crawlin' King Snake Blues, which would eventually become a staple in Hooker's repertoire. This disc, Traveling Man Blues, would later be recorded by Hooker under the title When My Wife Quit Me. Very nice piece of blues history here!
All of our old shellac and vinyl 78 records are packed with utmost care and precaution so as to ensure they arrive to you in the same condition in which they were shipped out. I have extensive experience shipping 78s. For an in depth explanation of my shipping methods, see the bottom of this page. All items will be shipped within 3 days of purchase. All good faith offers thoroughly considered.
Keep in mind that for the highest fidelity reproduction results, a correct sized, well maintained stylus should always be used and antique records should also always receive a deep cleaning with a stiff bristled brush and a non-alcohol based soap. I do not provide grading beyond what is required by eBay. If the photographs prove insufficient, do not hesitate to reach out with a question, as well as any other type of inquiry related to an item.
All 78 rpm records, vinyl or shellac, will be shipped sandwiched between either thick cardboard or some spare 78 rpm discs to provide substantial reinforcement for uneven pressure placed on a package during shipment. The record sandwich is then suspended in packing peanuts on all sides. Packing peanuts are the optimal durable memory material as they will insulate your item against any acute forces such as a fall or any type of blow and unlike bubble wrap will not pop and lose their shape if subjected to a strong force.
