“Papa Charlie and Blind Blake Talk About It” – Papa Charlie Jackson and Blind Blake (1929)

I’ll be honest – I was reticent to even post this one, as the disc is so totally beat that the sound quality is almost unlistenable. But it’s a super rare one and the transfers that are available are only marginally better.

It’s a great example of how sometimes even 78s in the worst shape sometimes are so special and important, as there just may not be too many other copies out there.

Recorded in Grafton, Wisconsin in September 1929.
Released as Paramount 12911.
