Description

"BILLIKIN" JOHNSON and FRED ADAMS team up for some great, lazy, Texas blues.  Tuba player OCTAVE GASPARD joins them on "INTERURBAN BLUES" and "SUNBEAM BLUES."  


In my insatiable curiosity, I checked for the meaning of "Billikin" in three on-line dictionaries, and came up with NOTHING! There is one for "Billiken" - "A squat, smiling comic figure, often used as a mascot." Maybe it's a fitting description of Mr. Johnson, but don't hold me to that. 


This original 1927 "Race" Columbia 14293-D is in E- condition.  Slight distortion, negligible scratches, no chips or cracks.

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.
