Description
THE SUDDEN DEATH of Blind Lemon Jefferson in late 1929 came as a huge blow to African-Americans all over the U.S., and beyond. So Lemon's record label, Paramount, deemed it fitting and proper to make a memorial record for him: "WASN'T IT SAD ABOUT LEMON" is sung with great respect by WALTER & BYRD, and on the flip side, the REV. EMMETT DICKENSON eulogizes the man in "DEATH OF BLIND LEMON."
This exceedingly rare, original 1930 Paramount 12945 is in quite worn G condition, and there's a one-inch fracture at the rim. But it plays, and under the noise, much can still be heard. This record is quite scarce in ANY condition.
*****
These records are from my private collection, which has been accumulating since 1967. Now I 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.
