Here's LONNIE JOHNSON again, this time following the biggest news story to hit the South since the Civil War, the devastating Mississippi River flood of 1927.  He covers Bessie Smith with his own version of her "BACK WATER BLUES," and expanding on that theme, "SOUTH BOUND WATER." 

This original 1927 "Race" OKeh 8466 is in somewhat beat but game VV- condition.

*****

These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing!  My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value.  I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all.  If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will!  Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.”  I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.

An Unsolicited Testimonial!: "Superbatone is one of the coolest people on eBay - seriously. An excellent source for music, knowledge, and whimsy, and an asset to the community who cares about music and its preservation. It goes without saying that he is an expert in all facets surrounding 78’s and their content."
