By popular demand - the seven shellac 78 rpm discs sent in by El Enmascarado have now been collected into LP form for downloading, complete with album art! As well as the music in mp3 format, the download contains a folder of the label shots of each side. Carefully programmed for your listening pleasure, this virtual LP will delight both the discerning connoisseur and the drink sodden. It's been played continuously on my Windows Media Player (with cross fading switched on) for the last week.
Track details are on the blog posts for each disc, so go copy and paste. Let's just sum up the "album" as a cornucopia of "real" blues, a style which was an important ingredient in the R&B scene of the 1940s and 1950s.

This is amazing . . . and on top of that the album back and front covers are beautifully done - very classy!!!
Why thank you Marie. I've been trying to upgrade my very basic graphic skills lately, but I've still got a long way to go.
"Country" type blues and its big city equivalent has been pretty neglected on this blog in favour of jumpin' and jivin' but there were a couple of outstanding blues collections in the Joan Selects series a couple of years ago.
good work and thank you for bringing blues and the big sound to us.
Love the shellac blues, thank you for all of your work!
This series of downhome blues posts has been most enjoyable. Even though I know it's not the main focus of Be Bop Wino, I happily anticipate the next installment. . . .
