Charley Patton on Paramount

12792-A PONY BLUES

12792-B BANTY ROOSTER BLUES

Rare in any condition, this is what must be graded as P, as the surface noise remains prominent over the music throughout, at times it can be tough to hear old Charley. If you're not a big fan, I imagine itd be tough to make sense of what you're hearing at times. However, if you know the music, you can hear plenty.  And it's a Charley Patton Paramount.  When listening to the sample, the sound starts at its worst, then gets better and by about a minute in is as good as it will get.

At any rate, listen to the sample and see what you think.  The record looks as clean as it's going to get, but you might get even more music out of it with a proper needle and/or equipment.


Record condition:  As pictured, pretty well worn.  Pony Blues is the more listenable side because of the volume of his performance.  Notable visual issues:  Small crack as pictured coming in about a half inch.  There's also a needle dig right before the 'Brownskin Woman looks like something fit to eat' line that skips/repeats on my player. There's another noticeable needle dig on that side but it doesn't skip or hang. I just lifted past it on the recording you hear.  Banty Rooster Blues plays through with the same bad to less bad as it progresses.


Shipping:  No additional charge for shipping and handling. I pack the 78 firmly in a sleeve between two slats of cardboard, surrounded by bubble wrap and/or peanuts.  Will be shipped via Media Mail, with tracking #, and with appropriate insurance.  I will take extra care with this Patton record.

Returns:  Returns are accepted within 7 days, refunds minus postage upon receipt of item back.
