Description
....Here we have 1931 recorded COLUMBIA 14642D by RUTH DAY who is accompanied brilliantly by BLIND WILLIE McTELL...- PAINFUL BLUES/EXPERIENCE BLUES ..one of the last of the Columbia "Race Series" releases and, as per 78 QUARTERLY 78 collector magazine # 4 "one known copy exists"...I'd have to say it is more likely about 5 exist but nontheless it is a super rarity...disc is EE-/E-- stills has plenty of gloss.. there is a 3" hair crack on PAINFUL that is through to the rim and 1/2" only of EXPERIENCE BLUES ..it tics lightly for the first 1/4 of PAINFUL but is silent on EXPERIENCE...also two smalllabel tears on the right side of the label on PAINFUL and a few tiny incidental and silent lams...a better than decent copy playing wise..... .......... ... I will be auctioning items from the collection of pioneer collector/musician VIC FERGUSSON who passed a way a few years back at age 100. He began performing and COLLECTING in the 1920's with LOUIS ARMSTRONG as his primary focus!
