Description
Blind Lemon Jefferson 78rpm "Jack O Diamond Blues" \ "Chock House Blues" 1926 Original Paramount from 1926
It's quite worn and has a few scratches, it seems to have what it looks like a repaired hairline crack that is mostly noticeable in "Chock House Blues" during the first 60 seconds, and very subtle in "Jack O Diamonds". After the 60 seconds the music becomes more pleasant to the ear, so I would grade it G or G+ sometimes, cause the music is still louder than the background noise.
(G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise)
(According to https://www.jazzhound.net/record-grading)
Not bad for a 96 year old record!

Lemon Henry "Blind Lemon" Jefferson (September 24, 1893 – December 19, 1929)[8] was an American blues and gospel singer-songwriter and musician. He was one of the most popular blues singers of the 1920s and has been called the "Father of the Texas Blues".[9]
Due mainly to his high-pitched voice and the originality of his guitar playing, Jefferson's performances were distinctive.[9] His recordings sold well, but he was not a strong influence on younger blues singers of his generation, who could not imitate him as easily as they could other commercially successful artists.[10] Later blues and rock and roll musicians, however, did attempt to imitate both his songs and his musical style.[9]
