CLIFFORD GIBSON "Don't Put That Thing on Me" & "Jive Me Blues" on Victor V-38572

Offered is some quite rare and historic Pre-War Blues (1929) from Clifford Gibson,  on Victor "Scroll" V-38572:

V-38472-A :  "Jive Me Blues"

V-38572-B :  "Don't Put That Thing on Me"


The shellac condition grades at VG+.

Both sides of this 10" record play with some consistent medium background noise and an occassional click, but generally no pops. However, the beginning few seconds of "Jive Me Blues" does have 2 pops. The audio volume is strong and clear.

The shellac surface retains much of its original black gloss, and has some light scuffs and scratches- there are no deep marks. No cracks or chipping.

The labels are complete with a few light marks. Note that there is a sticker affixed to the Side A label (see photo).


Wikipedia has some short biographical information about Clifford:

"Clifford "Grandpappy" Gibson (April 17, 1901 – December 21, 1963) was an American blues singer and guitarist. He is best known for the tracks, "Bad Luck Dice" and "Hard Headed Blues".

"Born in Louisville, Kentucky, United States, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri in the 1920s and lived there for the rest of his life. He played in St. Louis clubs, and in 1929 began recording for the QRS and Victor labels. He is regarded as one of the earliest urban blues performers, with no pronounced rural influences. His guitar playing style resembled that of Lonnie Johnson, with an emphasis on vibrato and improvisation. Among the many themes touched on in his songs, "Don't Put That Thing on Me" is notable for its references to hoodoo, an African American form of folk magic.

"Gibson accompanied Jimmie Rodgers on a Victor single, "Let Me Be Your Side Track", in 1931, then spent parts of the next three decades playing in the streets around St. Louis. Gibson resurfaced on recordings in 1960 on the Bobbin label, and worked another three years in St. Louis' Gaslight Square, before his death from pulmonary edema in 1963."
