I have done my best to correctly wikify this article without changing the original intentions. However the history of Blues music is not one of my fortes, so I may have messed things up.

Son House's Paramount 78 rpm recording of "Clarksdale Moan" and "Mississippi County Farm Blues" is the only missing record release from the 1930 Grafton, WI Paramount Studios recording session. House recorded six songs during the session, "My Black Mama Pt. 1 & 2", "Dry Spell Blues Pt. 1 & 2", and "Preachin' the Blues" comprise the three records still in existence (exceedingly rare in their own right), and an acetate disk test recording made of "Walking Blues", long thought lost, was discovered in 1985. "Clarksdale Moan" and "Mississippi County Farm Blues" however, still eludes blues collectors. Keep your eyes peeled at flea markets, a similar long lost Paramount recording of Bline Joe Reynolds "Ninety-nine Blues" and "Cold Woman Blues" was purchased at a Tennesee Flea Market in 2001 for $1.00.
