Description
Hello,
Offering for sale a very nice Blind Lemon Jefferson OKEH label 1927 release. Includes older inner sleeve and new cardboard jacket. The record itself has NO chips, cracks or other damage. It is not in perfect or pristine condition. It shows some wear. I think it's in very good condition considering it's 80+ years old.
Please GOOGLE the WIKIPEDIA article on Blind Lemon Jefferson and OKEH for more information on this record:
"In 1927, when Williams moved to Okeh Records, he took Jefferson with him, and Okeh quickly recorded and released Jefferson's "Matchbox Blues", backed with "Black Snake Moan". It was his only Okeh recording, probably because of contractual obligations with Paramount. Jefferson's two songs released on Okeh have considerably better sound quality than his Paramount records at the time. When he returned to Paramount a few months later, "Matchbox Blues" had already become such a hit that Paramount re-recorded and released two new versions, with the producer Arthur Laibly." WIKIPEDIA.
Please see photos and ask any questions prior to bidding. No Returns.
Thanks for looking!
