SHIPPING TIME AND RETURN POLICY:

SHIPPING: We ship within 2 business days of payment most of the time (orders place over the weekend won't be processed until the following Monday. We ship via USPS: First Class for CDs, Media Mail for vinyl, and First Class Mail International for overseas orders (orders over 4lb require Priority Mail International). Actual shipping time varies by destination.

RETURNS: We generally do not accept returns except if something is not as described, and we take care to make sure everything fits our description. Sometimes CDs or vinyl will have a "cut-out" slice or "promo punch" either in the corner or through the UPC code - we will include this in the description if applicable. If there is a problem with an item, contact us and we will figure out the best action to take. We do NOT accept returns if you decide you simply don't like the item, or have buyer's remorse - buy wisely, and ask questions if necessary. Damage incurred during shipping should be brought up with the carrier but is extremely rare as we box everything adequately, including using extra cardboard for protection.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMBINING SHIPPING ON MULTIPLE ITEMS WE SELL:

Use "Add To Cart". Before paying, there is a button marked "Ask Seller For A Total" - click this. Wait one business day for us to change the invoice or else it will charge you full shipping for each item (we will not refund extra shipping once paid). This may not work from a phone, only a computer. We have to change shipping by hand - typically we charge what is close to the actual cost with maybe a $1 USD handling fee per item to cover the cost of packing materials.

Item Summary:

As a group, the Hokum Boys, later known as The Famous Hokum Boys, never featured a consistent lineup of musicians and performers except for the enigmatic blues musician Bob Robinson. (Who at various points sang, played guitar, clarinet, and banjo.) Alongside Robinson, numerous pre-war bluesmen such as Jimmy Blythe, Washboard Sam, Casey Bill Weldon and various others had been connected to the group. As their name suggested, they were consummate practitioners of hokum blues, a style of blues music which was deliberately comical, and rife with double-entendres and ribald lyrics. The Hokum Boys were prominent from 1929 to 1937, and operated primarily throughout the Chicago area, often collaborating with peers such as Big Bill Broonzy, Leroy Carr, and Scrapper Blackwell. Their connections to each other could be tenuous at times, with multiple configurations calling themselves The Hokum Boys operating at different, or even the same time. Despite this, the group cut numerous records for Paramount and other in-demand blues labels before fizzling out, leaving behind a wealth of singles behind that are both draped in mystery as well as explicit language.
