SUPERTONE 78 PIE PLANT PETE When The Work's All Done This Fall - Boston Burglar.
This record is in very good condition and plays great on my old phonograph. Please see pictures and judge condition for yourself. It retains the original SUPERTONE paper sleeve. It's partially split on the edges, but still holds the record fine, and the graphics/text look great. Sears Roebuck and CO. advertised it as Super Electrically Recorded. 1920's Shellac record technology. Awesome antique record.
His very first record, recorded 25 January 1929 Gennett Recording Studio, Starr Piano Company Building, Whitewater Gorge Park, Richmond, IN (solo vocals/guitar/harmonica)
Pie Plant Pete, whose real name was Claude Moye, was an Illinois native who spent virtually all of his country music career in northern states. A native of Shawneetown, he learned to sing and accompany himself on guitar and harmonica, which often was termed a two-cylinder cob crusher.
At age twenty-one he auditioned for the National Barn Dance at WLS in Chicago and was accepted and took the radio name of Pie Plant Pete, a term used for rhubarb which was often used for pies and was, he thought, easy to remember but hard to pronounce (a tongue-twister)
