Well, I went round the other side of Terry's stall today and found these:

Then Terry showed me this

B000F3T83M.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg

So I bought that one, too. It's a good compilation for me; I don't have any Smiley Lewis, haven't any of the Pee Wee Crayton included, although I have quite a lot of the Guitar Slim, it's not on CD. All I have on CD are the 8 tracks by T-Bone Walker.

There are also three tracks by Boo Breeding included. The sleeve notes trash them! He is described as "a halfway decent singer", "a disciple of Guitar Slim, inevitably lacking the charismatic abandon of his mentor. He's abetted by an anonymous sextet who may not be the usual suspects. Of particular note is the guitarist, whose persistence isn't quite matched by his invention..." Actually, they're not as bad as all that. But, if JSP thought the tracks were that bad, why did they include them?

Art Blakey and His Jazz Messengers - Thin Man - on 78 ...er...., couldn't resist but I'm not ...repeat not getting any more 78s. Will have to wheel out the Dansette Viva tonight

If it's a Dansette, it's more like a Ford Prefect...

My claim to fame is that, in 1964, I bought Anne Nightingale's Dansette.
