More from reissue vinyl
I featured them before on the Legends of the Rocking Dutchman - my collection of eighties vinyl re-releases of 40s and 50s Rhythm & Blues. Most of them are European pressings - not so surprising for someone located in the Netherlands. Many of them are from the Danish Official label. Discogs lists a forty releases for this label, all from the end of the eighties and most of them in Rhythm & Blues.
The killer of this show though, is an album from 1974 on the Chicago-based Barrelhouse label, that re-released the entire catalog of a pops-and-moms label based in a record store on Maxwell Street in the Windy City, featuring some blues greats including the very first recordings of Little Walter - all from 1947. Hear that story on the Legends of the Rocking Dutchman today, and it wasn't even included on the sleeve notes, but on a nineties website.
