John Tefteller of Grand Pass,Oregon, has been buying and selling rare records for 37 years now. his personal collection today contains some of the rarest records ever to be recorded, one which he purchased at auction on e-bay in 2007 for $10.323. which turned out to be one-of-a-kind-blues 45 rpm recorded by Alabama blues artist D.A. Hunt in 1953.titled "Greyhound Blues" and produced by the legendary Sun Records in Memphis .Tennessee, the same record label Elvis Presley recorded for in the late 1950s.
It was D.A. Hunt's first and only record, which sold very few copies when it was first released in 1953, Tefteller tells me today that his 37 year search for rare records is not quite over yet, There are two more records out there he would like to add to his collection,, recorded by blues artist Willie Brown on Paramount records recorded in the 1930s, and has offered a $25.000 reward to anyone out there who can come up with either 78 rpm record in playable condition,
The two 78 Rpm titles being sought are "Grandma Blues" B/w " Sorry Blues" on Paramount Records, And "Kicking in my Sleep" B/w Window Blues,
Readers if you know the where abouts of these records contact Tefteller toll free 1-800-95-1326 tell him Larry sent you.
Thanks goes out to John Tefteller for returning my phone call to write this story ,
