ARTIST: Mississippi John Hurt
LABEL: Okeh 8692
TITLES: Spike Driver Blues / Blue Harvest Blues
CONDITION: E-V+ / E-
DESCRIPTION:
Fairly clean copy of Mississippi John Hurt Okeh, but as is the case with many (if not most) copies of this 78, the "Spike Driver Blues" side plays with a loud swish as there was most likely a problem in the mastering. There is no apparent surface damage on visual inspection other than some light scuffing. The actual music is strong and clear. The swish is lessened with a smaller stylus, but will probably not disappear altogether. Light occasional background crackle on "Blue Harvest Blues" and midway through a milder version of the swish comes and goes through to the end. A few tight inaudible lam cracks extending 1" from edge on "Spike Driver". From the Ken Swerilas collection.
