Blind Lemon Jefferson RARE Paramount 12650 Blues 78 RPM Portrait Birthday Record
Extremely rare record. This record and label shows wear - see photos to get an idea. I played both sides on my new portable turntable (which is not the greatest quality), and can hear the music when turned up, however there is a quite a bit of cracking and hissing/background noise, some of this may be due to the low quality of recording back then. On one side, the needle seems to jump to the beginning so not sure if a few beginning notes are missed on playback. Also, my portable player will not play all the way to the end because the arm will not go all the way - this happens on several of my records. I am definitely NOT an expert, so have not cleaned this record - I will leave any cleaning and restoration to the new owner. This item is sold as is.
One of these sold years ago for over $3500, although that one was in excellent condition.
Bidders must have excellent feedback and purchasing record, or I reserve the right to cancel bids.
