NOTE-Please don't be concerned with my ebay feedback tally. I have
been successfully selling 78s for nearly 40 years. I know how to grade
them, and I know how to package them.
Calling themselves The Hokum Boys, Tampa Red (guitar) and Georgia Tom Dorsey (piano) sing "Selling That Stuff (take-3)" and "Beedle Um Bum (take-2)" on Paramount 12714.
Both sides were done in Chicago in December of 1928.
Although rather scarce, this record is not in nice condition at all. I'll do my best to describe it. There is not much gloss on either side. The A side is the better of the two, and I would grade it as V condition at best. It does play through with no digs however. The B side I would guess as V- condition with some heavy grooves, one of which hangs. The A side plays with a little distortion, and the B side even more. Scuffing on both labels around rims and center holes.
