Rufus Thomas "Bear Cat / Walking In The Rain" -- Sun 181Original 1953 Shaw Pressing --- (the "72" in the dead wax confirms this) --- Historic 45 rpm record
Rufus "Hound dog" Thomas Jr. "Bear Cat" And "Walking in the Rain" Original 1953 Sun 181 Pressing.
Super rare to find the original 45.-- Rufus Thomas' first record and the first hit for the Sun Label.
This is the original 45 pressing with "Hound Dog" above Thomas Jr. on label. Very rare!
This is VERY THICK Vinyl with 78rpm grooves, and LONG "Trail off" area.
Sun #181 DID NOT COME WITH "PUSHMARKS" -
Record vinyl looks to be in (VG-) condition with numerous surface scuffs, and scratches.
"BEAR CAT" Play grade is (VG++) - Plays strong, loud, and proud!
"Walking In The Rain" plays with some crackling but with much less "hiss" than usual.
The Labels are nice (NO stickers, wol, etc) - Plays all the way through without skipping on both sides.
KILLER BLUES GUITAR "LICKS" ON BOTH SIDES FROM JOE HILL LOUIS
Musicians: Rufus Thomas (voc), Joe Hill Louis (g), Tuff Green (b), Huston Stokes (dms)
