Description

Classic sides from the Carters, recorded in Memphis in May 1930. The melody of “When the World’s On Fire” was later used by Woody Guthrie in “This Land is Your Land.” Great record, both sides. 

This record has some scuffs and wear but plays great. I am only selling it because I found a similar copy. Please refer to the photos and video (played using a 3.5TE stylus) and reach out if you have any questions. I will happily combine shipping for multiple items. Thanks for looking!
