Description
Original 78 RPM 1953 Peacock Records 1624 Pete "Guitar" Lewis, featured guitarist of the Johnny Otis Orchestra. RARE. A "Hound Blog" post from 2009 states:
...Peacock recorded him a year later and issued one single- Goin' Crazy b/w Back Door Troubles (this one is so rare I've been looking for it for twenty years and still haven't seen a copy).
The Hound Blog, July 2, 2009
Since first listing this record, other sellers wrote to inform me this record is not as rare as the Houndblogger led me to believe. They informed me they have sold copies in the past 5 years and the price ranges from $70-$150, depending on condition. I have revised my auction accordingly.
I have a really good copy, VG+ to exc. condition: unscratched, very light surface scuffing, playback clear, grooves not worn. In "Backdoor Troubles" Lewis sings, "If somebody's stealing my ham, they must sure know what to do," accompanied by electric guitar. "Going Crazy" is a MONSTER instrumental harmonica piece.
Shipped with extra padding to avoid breakage.
