Description
BESSIE SMITH, "The Empress of the Blues" is in great form on these two classics, "GRAVEYARD DREAM BLUES" and "JAIL HOUSE BLUES." Irving Johns' piano gives solid accompaniment.
This original 1923 blue-label Columbia A4001 (the final release in this series, begun in 1908 with number A-1) is in EE- condition. Some slight signs of wear, basically a clean copy.
PHOTO: Bessie Smith in 1923.
*****
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.
