INFO:   circa 1925 one man band skiffle stuff - nice copy - Little is really known about Stovepipe No. 1. His real name was Sam Jones, he was probably from Cincinnati and he made his first records as a one-man-band in 1924, as did Daddy Stovepipe. Sam Jones in many ways was the opposite of Johnny Watson (Daddy Stovepipe). His solo records featured old-time tunes with bluesy cross harp playing, unlike Watson's blues pieces with old-time straight harp. Sam Jones also played with other people (unlike Watson who recorded solo, or in the company of his wife). His work with David Crockett and King David's Jug Band (along with his solo sides) is available on Stovepipe No. 1: Complete Recorded Works (1924-1950) & The Tub Jug Washboard Band (1928) IF YOU ARE A FAN OF PRE-WAR MUSIC TUNE IN TO MY WEEKLY "AMERICAN GROOVES RADIO HOUR" program ( broadcasting weekly on Sundays WLIW.ORG/radio or streaming / podcasting where ever you get your podcasts ( spotify!)!

GRADING - I grade VISUALLY unless if i notice a defect that requires me to play the record to properly describe and grade  it -  - The VJM Record Grading System is an internationally-used and recognized system for grading both 78s and LPs. It is used by virtually all serious record dealers and collectors alike, with an easily understood sequence of letters to show grades and a system of abbreviations to show faults and damage.
