Description
Charlie Spand, Fetch Your Water b/w Soon This Morning Blues, on Paramount 12790. Original 1929 release, with Blind Blake accompanying on guitar. Disk is V, mostly dull and gray with lots of visible wear, though the A-side has a little bit of shine to it, the B-side less. This has been played plenty, but not terribly abused, as the scratches are light, with no major issues. Labels have some tearing, visible in the photos.
I have included full MP3s of both sides of all the old blues 78s I'm currently auctioning. These are completely unmanipulated, and I expect the records might sound significantly better with the exact right needle size for each one and a little EQ work.
