Description

Ladies and gentlemen, here is an opportunity to own a masterpiece of vernacular American music in magnificent shape. 
Vocalion 1140 by Henry Thomas with the conviction filled coupling of "Jonah in the Wilderness" and "When the Train Comes Along".
Let's talk condition. I will say with confidence that this record is E-. The first 2-3 grooves on each side have a little noise as he hits a few stand-alone guitar chords and then it cleans up before he starts singing so beautifully. As you can see, it still has a lot of gloss. There is a small amount of writing on the A side where someone drew some asterisks. This record was bought in a music store near me new and I will include the generic sleeve they sold it in with the store's rubber stamp. 
I will package this amazing piece with great care and get it to you the next caretaker ASAP. 
I will ship internationally. 
Thank you!
-Corbin
