Description

Billy Golden on a Star 78 RPM Record with
Turkey in the Straw
"Negro Shout"
Billy Golden famously recorded Turkey in the Straw for Columbia Records in the late 1800s and early 1900s.  
The Star label was made by the Hawthorne and Sheble Company, but pressed by Columbia. 
So, this was a re-release of the Columbia disc on the Star label.  Same recording, different label.  A very rare label, probably dates to 1905 or so.
The label credits the song as "Negro Shout," but of course this is Billy Golden, there's no question.
It is in good physical condition, visually it's clean minor wear and minor scratching.  The label shows some wear and some writing.  The label is actually purple, but the camera made it blue.
It's graded VG due to sound quality.  It sounds like it's worn and plays with heavy surface noise.  The music, vocals, singing, and whistles are all very audible, but is underneath the surface noise.
