Description: What an incredible blues 78 discovery from JOE SMITH & ETHEL FINNIEMUSEUM QUALITY! On the very desirable PARAMOUNT record label.

African Rag - Unknown PianistIt grades out at E+ to N- (visually graded)... PARAMOUNT store stock that has never been played! The surface is bright and shiny with a high full luster. The labels are in excellent condition, with no stickers, writing or any unusual wear... There is zero spindle wear! This record came directly from a close friend & neighbor of PARAMOUNT owner John Steiner....The records were from John Steiners home in Milwaukee, Wisconsin... given to his friend by John, and since, sold to me.According to his friend & neighbor, John Steiner was not a people person. He was constantly being hounded by record collectors who would bother him at all hours of the day and night... all of course, looking for his PARAMOUNT records. Here's a chance at some real PARAMOUNT music history!
