Description

Gladys Bentley – Ground Hog Blues / Worried Blues
Okeh 8610
Recorded in New York City 1928

Graded/Plays V to V+

Graded V+   = Average condition in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat.  Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion and surface noise not overly pronounced

V  = Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.


Unfortunately, the label is badly scarred and “Ground Hog Blues” crackles a bit but the record plays okay otherwise.

Gladys Bentley was well known as a male impersonator but also recorded music.  This is the first of four outstanding couplings for the Okeh label.  She did cut a few others over the years but these are the ones she is remembered for.  


Comes from a smoke-free home.

I will regularly be listing Blues and Jazz 78's  so please keep checking back.

Please note that my postage rate for 78's reflects the additional costs involved of purchasing a specific sized box and using additional packaging materials.  
Combined shipping rates are available. 

I will always endeavor to send out 78 Record orders within 2 working days.  However, due to the extra time spent packaging them and only be limited to carrying two boxes a time to the Post Office, I have increased the Handling Time to 4 working days.
