Indeed in 1964 on his Blues Classic label. In 1974 he reissued it with new liner notes, those on the original are sparse. Volume two (BC13) was issued in 1967.

Regarding a revised edition of the book last month Paul reported the following:
A glimmer of light has just begun shining on the possibility of a new edition, so we're keeping our fingers crossed. There are a number of significant additions and corrections that could see the light of day.

I have Kansas Joe's album "One in a Hundred". Does it supply any of the desired (missing) Joe/Minnie tracks?

That includes about half the Joe/Minnie cuts on which Joe sings lead.

Uncle Bud,
You mentioned the Document CDs for getting the tracks that Kansas Joe sings lead on. I've found those available on Amazon, but now I'm torn. There's about a 40 track difference between those and the box. I did notice there were 4 or 5 other Document CDs for Minnie apparently covering the period after they went their separate ways.
I'm wondering if I should get the box set in addition to the first 4 Document discs, rather than all 8 or 9 Documents (as I would at one time be prone to do). It looks as if it might be the more cost-efficient option.
Any pros or cons?
