BLIND LEMON JEFFERSON, THAT BLACK SNAKE MOAN, PARAMOUNT 12407, 78 RPM
Original 1926 release. Really nice condition.No visible scratches. Some slight smudge marks. Paramount releases were not made of the best materials. Decent gloss to the playing surface of both sides. Excellent gloss to both sides of the label. The labels are in excellent condition. We didn't play this item but visually I would call it VG. This is one of the finest condition Paramount discs I've ever seen. I see no scratches. This item is not beat or skated on. Again Paramount made these out of cheaper materials then the big major labels of the era.Paramount discs do not usually age well. This in nice shape for a eighty six year old disc. Jefferson recorded this song two other times that I know of, this is the 1st version. An excellent and important historical American blues music item. These are becoming scarce.
