Description

HERSAL THOMAS was a gifted nineteen-year old piano prodigy and composer when he made these sides in Chicago in 1925: "SUITCASE BLUES" and "HERSAL BLUES."  They're full of charm, and contain many original riffs that turned out to be crucial to the "Boogie Woogie" piano style. Poor Hersal didn't make it to twenty-one!  He died suddenly of food poisoning, in 1926. 

This original maroon Race OKeh 8227 is in solid V+ condition.  The visible discoloration causes only a whisper of noise.  The schmutz on "Hersal Blues" looks like it can be removed with a little "Goo Gone" and elbow grease.  What? You want me to do EVERYTHING for you??  

******

I figured out how to adjust the shipping price! So there will be no further dire warnings or prescriptions upon this subject.
