The Bright Fiery Cross/ Mystic City
A most unusual record on the KKK label. (no doubt pressed for the Ku Klux Klan by a major recording company, under a contract - such priovate label pressings were common in the '20s) I rate this record "G", it plays through well and the words and music are just fine, nice and clear, but there is a good amount of surface noise. Some scratches (one rather scary-looking) do not present any specific audible problems when played on my old Dual turnyable.
You will most likely be buying this for display, rather than for listening.
The words were written in 1913 and this record was pressed in the late 1920s.
It's a hoot to listen to these words set to music that sounds AMAZINGLY like "The Old Rugged Cross!"
A relic of a different time and culture in our country's history. $85 plus $8 insured shipping.

I am selling this as a historic artifacts a glimpse into a time in our country's history when fear and intolerance were expressed by the use of power and economics to exert and maintain political control. They are intended for the use of record collectors and those who collect historical curiosities.
