Description
COLUMBIA 78 RPM Record 15001-D Ernest Thompson “Sylvester Johnson Lee”/”Weeping Willow Tree” E - Visible Condition, beautiful record with a couple of rubs and one needle dig else very good hillbilly tunes. Mr. Thompson has a very strange voice (to me). He is an extremely difficult to find songwriter and singer from North Carolina-and this record lists high in book value. Not a whole lot about Mr. Thompson on the Internet.

G Not so good. Wear and scratch damage extensive. Listening can become uncomfortable as music and surface noise probably blending. Lowest level music can be understood.
G-, Music barely audible over surface noise & listening is uncomfortable. Record is borderline unplayable.
P Used only for high dollar space fillers like Black Patti, Okeh blues, etc. Music covered by surface noise, scratches, and needle digs, label may be trashed, & listening is almost if not definitely impossible. Record is basically unplayable. What you keep because you can?t bear to toss ? while you look for that E+ copy of Robert Johnson on Vocalion at the local flea markets for $1 (Good Luck!)
