The following refer to Bessie Smith recordings on microgroove. Not
concerned with 78s, cassettes, CDs, Advertising lists notoriously
unreliable. No need to refer to partial discographyby Gorgen
Antonnsen, I have a copy.
IF YOU COME UP WITH ANYTHING PLEASE QUOTE AUTHORITY
I have set out such info. as I have hopefully to assist you. There is
no immediate urgency for a reply.
1, Blues Encore 52009. Reported as 20 tracks, unusual for an LP.
I know 14 tracks. Is this in fact an LP and are all tracks B.S.
2. C.B.S.(Continental and/or England)44441. 16 tracks. This is
reported with various prefixes. C44441 probably CD, CK44441 is CD,
also issued on casseette (I have mislaid the prefix). CJ44441 I
believe is a 12" LP. Is this so? What is # of the Columbia(US)
issue? Also issued on C.B.S.(Cont)46339 but is this a cassette??
3. C.B.S. SPR31/34 (2 LPs)Title "The Blues". Country of origin and
what B.S. titles?
4. Columbia (US) C2 47091. 38 or 40 tracks, again an odd number
for LPs. Is this an LP set? (Col. CK 47091 and Col(Cont) 467895 are
CDs)
5. DejaVu DVLP2008. 20 tracks known. Is this LP? It may be a set
# or album # and other tracks (if any) may not be B.S. Anything on
this?
6. Roots RTS 113015. 18 tracks. Is thisLP?
Have lots more queries. See how you come up with these first. |
