Description

Blind Willie Johnson 78 rpm Record Mother's Children Have a Hard Time / If I Had My Way, I'd Tear this Building Down
Some wear and scratches. Take a look at the pictures. 
Some static and noise. Some areas a little more noisy. Generally, Johnson can be heard nicely above the noise. (Have a listen to the sample) . I'm not really a 78 grader. If I look at the VJM, I'd say it's in the V range. A decent copy! These things are getting ever rarer, given that typically only a 10-15,000 were made at most.
Amazing sides from Blind Willie Johnson!  (I think the lyric is actually "Motherless children")
Check out my other blues 78s!
