I see that they are on the CD that comes with the 2012 Blues Calendar. Along with many other great sides including one of my favorite all-time ones, Ida Cox's Fogyism.
I was pleasantly surprised when i heard the Taggart presto on the blues images calendar.I`d heard the the record described as "wrecked" but it sounded much clearer than i expected.It`s a great record,great performances.
