Daddy Stovepipe (Johnny Watson), vocal, guitar, harmonica -- His first recordings, recorded in Richmond, Indiana, May, 1924.

~~~

This is terrific early African-American string band blues! You'll want to turn the volume up on this one, but the music is well above the background snap, crackle and pop.

 RECORD GRADING

 PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON GRADING AND CONTACT ME WITH QUESTIONS BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION:  

I use the VJM-style grading system, plus comments:

E+ E E- Vg+ Vg Vg- G+ G G- F

(Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair)

RECORD GRADING:  When assigning a grade to the records I offer, I try to dig a little deeper.  I judge the record visually, but also listen to it to aid in assigning a reasonably accurate grade.  I stand by my record grading and I invite you to contact me if you think I've missed the mark.   

 ~~~~~~~~~~

THE LABEL:  If both labels are in similar condition I usually show the A side.  If there is significant damage I show the damaged side of the label.  On some labels my scanner has a bad habit of picking up reflections which appear as white dots or lines.  Also, with most colors the actual label is sharper, brighter, more vivid, and looks better than the scan would indicate... but over-all the scan should give an approximate image of the label's condition.
