Joan Selects - Volume 10 - Joan's Got The Blues!

Great Casaboo, have we got something for you! Or rather Joan has – 40 tracks of mind-blowing blues ripped from 45s and 78s from back in the day. Piano professors, wailing harmonica cats (and Fats), primitive guitar stompers, jumpers ‘n’ jivers, red hot mamas and R&B hipsters – they’re here in all their ragged glory. And there are nearly 30 of Joan’s label shots to keep the sounds company.

Ripped from vinyl and shellac at various bitrates, nothing below 128. Surface noise including hissing and clicking clearly audible throughout. We wouldn’t have it any other way. Joan, I hope you get the blues again!

Joan selects the blues, just what I was waiting for! Hey Joan how much is that record collection of yours worth? Zillions I'd say.

Thanks a load
