Arkie Shibley 12” 78 metal acetate Hot Woodpecker Song b/w Beautiful Coeur D'alene Arkie Shibley introduces his own song Hot Woodpecker Song (as Artie calls it), and both songs on the acetate are alternate versions. Great guitar picking and fiddle playing!
This acetate was sent to 4 Star but they probably never did anything with it
There are no matrix numbers on acetate or sleeve
The record is in Mint- condition. The metal acetate has a slight bend at the edge, but I’m sure it can be perfectly flattened with a little bend. It must have stood in 4 Star studio warehouse unplayed for over 70 years.
You can hear samples of both sides taken from this acetate by clicking the player below
