8096-B Artist Instrument Buddy Christian Banjo Sidney Bechet Clarinet, Soprano Saxophone Rosetta Crawford Vocals Clarence Williams Piano THIS IS THE UK ISSUE ON Parlophone E 5234 10" 78rpm SHELLAC DISC it was pressed from the original US stampers CONDITION - VG/EX- SOME MARKS AND LIGHT SCRATCHES GIVING SOME CLICKS ESPECIALLY AT THE START OF THE SIDES BUT THE RECORD HAS A QUIET PLAYING SURFACE GENERALLY AND PLAYS LOUD AND CLEAR. THE LONESOME WOMAN'S BLUES SIDE PLAYS STRONGER THAN THE LEVEE BLUES SIDE. THE GOLD WRITING ON THE LABELS HAS TARNISHED SLIGHTLY MAKING THEM DIFFICULT TO SCAN SO THEY APPEAR MUCH BRIGHTER THAN THEY ARE IN REALITY.
