Description

 Up for auction is a very nice copy of a Clarence Williams' Washboard Band 78 on Okeh Records from 1928 or 1929. This is Okeh catalog 8738 for those of you keeping score and features the two tracks "I've Got What It Takes (It Breaks My Heart to Give It Away)" and " You Gotta Give Me Some".

Clarence and band are joined on both cuts with a phenomenal (and overlooked) vocalist named Margaret Webster. In a review of a compilation of Williams' material, All Music Guide refers to her singing as "near classic" on "You Gotta Give Me Some", and it really is a wonderful listen.

This 78 is in stunning E+ condition and is still in it's original Okeh sleeve. The 78 retains a near full gloss with no more that a few barely noticeable scuffs from the sleeve. It plays very well with only minimal surface noise (no pops,or crackles) and rivals reissues. The labels are also extremely well preserved. This is definitely a nice copy and I am confident that the winning bidder will be pleased!

This is one of around a dozen nice shape Okeh 78s (mostly pre-war jazz and spiritual/gospel) I am offering up for auction in the coming week or some, so check my other auctions.

I ship Worldwide and will pack extremely well. Insurance is obviously recommended. Please note my honest and reasonable shipping rates. US: $5.00; Canada: $8.00; Mexico: $9.00; Rest of World: $13.00.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions concerning this auction. Thanks and good luck!
