Some records preserve music. Others preserve a moment when American music was still discovering its own voice.
Long before the blues found electricity in Chicago or inspired generations of rock, folk, jazz, and soul musicians, Lucille Bogan was already singing with a voice that could cut through smoke, laughter, heartbreak, and hypocrisy. Equal parts grit and grace, wit and defiance, she transformed everyday struggles into timeless art. Every generation rediscovers her. Every serious blues collection eventually goes looking for her.
Offered here is an original Brunswick 7083, pairing “Coffee Grindin’ Blues” with “Pot Hound Blues”—two remarkable performances from Bogan’s celebrated Race Records period. These early Brunswick pressings are far scarcer than many of her later releases and remain among the most sought-after artifacts of pre-war female blues. This isn’t merely a record; it’s a surviving witness to the years when the blues was still being written one verse at a time.
Visually, the record retains attractive labels and pleasing gloss with honest wear earned over nearly a century. There are scattered scuffs and scratches, but no visible cracks. Small edge chips appear confined to the rim and should be carefully reviewed in the photographs. The record has not been professionally play graded, so please examine all photos and judge condition for yourself.
Collectors understand that originality matters. This is the genuine shellac that listeners placed on their turntables while America stood between two world wars. It survived the Great Depression, changing musical fashions, attic shelves, estate sales, and the passing of generations. Somehow, its grooves still carry the same voice that first echoed from a Brunswick phonograph almost one hundred years ago.
Whether your passion is Race Records, pre-war blues, Delta blues, female blues pioneers, Brunswick 78s, or simply the roots of American music, Brunswick 7083 deserves a place among the cornerstones of a serious collection.
Some records fill a shelf.
Others remind us where the soul of American music began.
