Description

ETHEL WATERS, known at the time of this record (1922) as "Sweet Mamma Stringbean," carved herself a huge and unprecedented career, on stage, records, radio, movies and TV, which lasted from the late 'teens practically until her death in 1977.  This record was her first big hit: "DOWN HOME BLUES" backed with "OH DADDY." 


This original 1922 Black Swan 2010 is in essentially clean V++ condition.  There is a rough start on "Oh Daddy," which cleans up after about ten seconds.  



*****

 

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
