Description
Cleoma et Joseph Falcon--Decca 17030
Original pre-war Cajun 78 RPM record, Decca 17030, Cleoma Falcon, Lulu's Back In Town b/w Joseph Falcon, Step On It. Recorded 21 February 1937. Both sides were pop/novelty tunes of the time with vocals in Cajun French. Note the mis-spelling on the label--CAJIN instead of "Cajun" and FALCOM instead of "Falcon" on the B side.
Record has been heavily played as is typical of most Cajun 78s from this period. Playing surface is dull, with numerous scuffs and scratches from use, and quite a bit of label wear [and writing on label] as well, but no chips, cracks or other damage. Has more than average background noise corresponding with the surface wear, but still plays well. Complete with period Decca paper sleeve. Despite the wear, still a nice pre-war recording by the original First Couple of Cajun Music and is in VG- condition. Any questions please feel free to ask.
Record is one of a small stack of pre-war Cajun 78s that were found in Port Arthur, Texas nearly 30 years ago. Please check my other auctions for more records from the same stack. Thanks.
