78 rpm: Paramount 12924 CHARLIE PATTON Rattlesnake Blues/RUNNIN' WILD 78 rpm VG+

Here we have a VG+ copy of 1929 recorded Paramount 12924 by CHARLIE PATTON - Rattlesnake Blues/RUNNIN' WILD BLUES..Don junked this one in 1976 for 35 cents in Virginia..he got the store owner down from $1!Note that the catalogue numbers on both sides are rubbed off. This was the same with the Keechie Wiley Don found in the same batch!...disc has typical Paramount low fidelity but plays through fine with some surface noise and and some pops here and there...not a bad copy at all! from the collection of legendary blues scholar, researcher, collector and friend of 30+ years DON KENT whose important records will appear on ebay, on behalf of his family, through this store and that of Sherwin Dunner's "Bombastium" and John Heneghan's "Suprovalco" ebay stores over the next several years. Google "DON KENT NEW YORK TIMES" to read a fabulous article on Don that appeared jut after his passing
