10 inch 78 rpm

Since this ain't no museum, my aim is not to depict actually existing specimen of 78 rpm records,
but to show the labels as pristine as workmanlike possible
even if this - in some cases - takes a whole lot of my time to photoshop process the initial data

¹⁾ "John Smith Hurt, who was to become Mississippi John Hurt, [...] was reportedly born on March 8, 1892 (grave marker), March 16, 1892 (Social Security Death Index), May 7, 1893 (some family members), or May 8, 1895 (draft registation). The most likely date, according to his grandnephew Fred Bolden who remembers celebrating his uncle's birthday, is March 8." (Philip R.Ratcliffe: Mississippi John Hurt - His Life, His Times, His Blues.- Jackson (University Press of Mississippi) 2011
Other - obviously even more dubious - dates can be found here:
July 2, 1892 (www.msjohnhurtmuseum.com/mjhbio.html) and July 3, 1893 (www.bluesworld.com/blues/0703.html)
Fazit: Birthday March 8, 1892 (as on grave marker) most likely !!!

Robert Wilkins & Mississippi John Hurt
The man on the left - contrary to a trillion internet sources' claims - isn't Skip James, but the Rev. Robert Wilkins!
Wilkins playing a Gibson D-28, whilst he usually played a J-45, or later, a J-50!
