Description
Born in Tennessee in 1882, Harry McClintock was a country “hillbilly” singer who left home at an early age and traveled around the world before returning to this country to work for railroads and to perform as a minstrel singer. He recorded the now legendary folk song, “Big Rock Candy Mountain,” and the flip side, “The Bum Song-No. 2,” on September 6, 1928. Smudges, needs a cleaning. Condition E
NOTE: I grade records by a rating system that has been standard in the industry for decades. Still, it can be a subjective undertaking. I am more likely to grade by how the record reproduces aurally (I use a 78 Shure cartridge with a 1950s Voice of Music turntable that has been fit into a 1946 Magnavox Belvedere radio-phonograph) than by how it looks visually. Sometimes a record that appears substantially worn plays very well and sometimes the opposite is true.
