Up for auction is a rare and excellent Blues 78 from Floyd Dixon and his Brown Buddies. 

This is a very rare recording from Floyd Dixon. "Worries" (not the same track as "I'm So Worried") is one of my personal favorites of all the songs he recorded and it is incredibly hard to find. Prior to purchasing this 78, I couldn't find a digital version or even a YouTube sample of the song. The track doesn't sound much like his typical Jump Blues songs, but rather sounds very modern, especially the electric guitar. "You Need Me Now" (which is hard to find on record but can be found on the CD anthology of his complete Aladdin Recordings) sounds more like traditional vintage Floyd as a Rhythm and Blues crooner. I've never seen this record for sale anywhere.

The pressing for sale is a white label sample/promo and was released on Swing Time Records in 1948 (I believe).

(Catalog Number: 287).

I'm not sure how to grade 78s so I'll just describe what I see and then you can listen to the audio clips. Decent gloss, not full gloss but not completely dull either. Several scuffs and marks but no major defects such as cracks or chips. Label has wear and ink bleeding into the white areas. Plays very strong! Slight background hiss common to 78s. A couple short clicks in one spot. Listen to the full 78 audio below. Audio was taken directly from the item for sale and has not been altered in any way.

Please see detailed photos to gather as much information as possible about the condition of the items for sale.

Please check all of my auctions and you may find some great music to enjoy. I have digital audio files for many of these recordings. For items that draw heavy interest I will try to upload those audio files so that you will know the exact quality of the item you are receiving before bidding. The audio files will never be altered in any way. Logistically it will be impossible to upload everything but feel free to contact me if you have a specific request to hear something.

Grades I use for used vinyl/jackets: EX, VG, G. And I use +/- for each. All grades are based on Goldmine Standards. Items in G (+/-) will only be listed if the rarity of the item outweighs the condition.

I only use M and NM for new items and I don't use +/- here. M is only if vinyl has absolutely never been played, and usually new jackets are NM because there is almost always some sort of corner ding or whatever even on sealed albums.

I ship all LPs in heavy duty LP mailers reinforced and properly padded. If an item isn't sealed I always remove inner sleeves containing the records from the outer jacket to avoid seam splitting and minimize the risk of damage during transit. I've had customers describe my packaging as "bomb proof" but the fact is, I'm a buyer too and I know the disappointment of receiving a poorly packaged LP with a jacket that was damaged in transit, so I just take a little extra time and care so that you don't have to worry.


I strongly recommend paying for Priority Mail shipping for 78s due to their delicate structure. Please contact me for specific shipping quotes and I will do whatever it takes to accommodate your requests.

Thanks for looking. Check my feedback and bid with confidence. My primary goal is to make sure every customer is 100% satisfied. Enjoy your vinyl!!
