100 R&B albums reissued on CD by Atlantic Japan

[Teasing the Korean]

Knowing your taste in music, Noj, I have to ask no further.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

I can only see a scant handful pre-1960 items on the first few pages of that list.

And most of them were compilations of music first issued on 45. A quick shufti through the Atlantic album list reveals the following R&B LPs that seem to have been recorded as albums.

8002 - La Vern - La Vern Baker [1956]

8015 - Ivory Joe Sings the Old and New - Ivory Joe Hunter [1958]

8019/SD-8019 - Blues From the Gutter - Champion Jack Dupree [4/59]

8035/SD-8035 - The Wildest Guitar - Mickey Baker [1959]

8036/SD-8036 - Precious Memories La Vern Baker Sings Gospel - La Vern Baker [11/59]

8039 - Ray Charles In Person - Ray Charles [1960]

Another Atlantic R&B album recorded as an album is T Bone Walker--T Bone Blues (great album, too). http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/image.html/WPCR-27524

Doubtful. It was recorded in 3 sessions, in April 1955 (Chicago), Dec 1956 and Dec 1957 (both LA). The first session appeared on 45s, the other material remained unissued until 1959.
