December 12, 2021 Records of the Day

If you are not familiar with Delta Blues artist Skip James you should know more about the value of his records. He was on the brink of stardom when the Great Depression ended his dreams but he was re-discovered in 1964 and was finally recognized for his gift to the Blues. He recorded nine singles for Paramount from 1931-1932. Each one, like the ones shown here called “22-20 Blues,” and “Be Ready When He Comes” can sell for $10,000.00 today.
