Paramount Records - Got the Blues - Heavy Cotton T-Shirt - XL Black

Paramount Records "Got the Blues" Record Label T-Shirt.

In the winter of 1926, Paramount Records brought Blind Lemon Jefferson to Chicago to record "Got The Blues", which became the B-Side on "Long Lonesome Blues". Released on a 10 inch 78 RPM Shellac later that year, the song became an early success, selling hundreds of thousands of copies.

Though it closed in 1932, Paramount Records captured some of the greatest early blues of the 20th century, recording Ma Rainey, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Charley Patton and others.

Though the label boasted their sound came from a secretive "New York Laboratory", almost everything was recorded at the Wisconsin Chair Company in Grafton, Wisconsin. Rumor has it that when the label went out of business, employees threw some of the master recordings into the river by the building.

This Bluescentric Brand T-shirt comes in classic heavy 100% preshrunk cotton. Sizes run very true, and have minimal, if any, shrinking. This is a standard go-to t shirt.
