Especially regarding the Ruby releases. Afraid I wasn't thorough enough to check back in Billboard on the Ruby releases, so thanks for that.<br /><br />Billboard is the go-to online resource for checking original release dates. I understand there is a project running to digitize Cashbox magazine which will provide more data for the R&B era.<br /><br />I haven't come across anyone offering blog albums for sale on CD yet, just mp3 downloads and streaming.<br /><br />Thanks for the info on further CDs with Bobby Smith interest. I didn't know about the Acrobat one. I did cut the post short and left out info of other CDs I have, including an Acrobat CD of Erskine Hawkins' hits, a Blue Moon CD of Eddie Mack and a Westside CD of the Larks.<br />boogiewoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565453839281572426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-7207251089360349212016-10-02T18:26:49.444+01:002016-10-02T18:26:49.444+01:00Afterthought

A coupl...Great item on an often overlooked artist.<br /><br />A couple of points (nit picking!)<br />1) Ruby was a subsidiary of Anchor in Newark - not Apollo<br />2) I know Dave Penny put the Ruby's at 1951 but they're actually 1953 recordings. Billboard mentions Ruby 101 at least three times between January and April 1954.<br />3) His Acrobat CD "Tippin' In" (ACMCD4202) is probably also worth a mention. It has 28 tracks although 12 of those have Bobby backing other artists - Willie Bryant, Eddie Mack, Bob Range and The Larks. ALL of the tracks are available on the Delmark CD you mention plus a couple of other Delmark CDs for the tracks by the other artists.<br /><br /> I sympathise with your problems with the 'pirates' but I can't come up with anything constructive to do about them - I certainly haven't/won't buy from them. I imagine that the time they put into their 'companies', setting up the web sites - printing the CDs & inserts on demand (I can't see them having a pile of Buster Brown, etc. sitting waiting to pop into the envelope) is not rewarded with a decent hourly return and eventually they'll pack it in.<br /> I think they'll remain a thorn in people's sides (the purchasers - I wouldn't be happy to receive a home-made CD for my money - as well as the real copyright owners) for a while until they decide to get out of the bedroom and do a real job. I suspect it isn't worth the copyright owners spending time and money pursuing them when they are unlikely to have any assets to pay fines, etc.<br /><br /> I hope you continue with the site and if it was just you writing plus photos and screen shots that's fine by me.Daddy Coolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771906137785438416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-58776723467557000552016-09-30T11:41:19.544+01:002016-09-30T11:41:19.544+01:00Many thanks, boogiewoody!Many thanks, boogiewoody!georgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-65300403061604905312016-09-30T02:42:36.147+01:002016-09-30T02:42:36.147+01:00Thanks for this.

I made a point of picking up ALL the French "Classics" chronological CD's of Hawkins because other than a few hits like "Tuxedo Junction" and "After Hours," most of Hawkins band recordings have not been reissued often. Looking forward to listening to this after work tonight!Bill S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07573129431937332002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-661655599191402760.post-92122784541878637372016-09-29T16:50:09.706+01:002016-09-29T16:50:09.706+01:00Nah, you can't keep a good man down!
