Blues And Gospel 1890-1943 4th Edition Amendments
Richard:
Could you post a sample or something so folks could see what they are getting into (!) and then maybe direct them to a site where they could download the whole thing if they wanted - if of any help you could post it on a spare page on my website which I use just for odds and sods.
How big are the files as they stand?
Slack:
Hi Guys,
I'd be happy to up the Character limit - but 60K seems like a whole lot for an inline text message - remember lots of folks still use dial up modems and they would have to load that everytime they opened the topic. So an RTF file attachment seems to be a better way to do it.
I'll configure the forum it accept RTF files, how's that?

Richard:
What a gentleman ;)
lebordo:
Thanks, Slack.
I see that rtf has already been permitted, so I'll generate a separate message with the rtf attachment.
lebordo:
Hi, all.
As promised, I am attaching a rich text (.rtf) file with the comments and corrections to Blues & Gospel Records, 4th edition, by Goodrich, Dixon & Rye.? All items in this document have already been submitted to Howard Rye for consideration in the next edition.
If you aren't into discographical info, I suggest you not bother to download the attachment.? I suspect it would be quite boring.
I like Richard's comment about an example.? But they are all so different that I decided to post several representative examples rather than just one.? In the attachment, items are sorted by page, with items on a page (hopefully) listed in the same order thay were on the page.
EXAMPLES
p. 411 - Papa Harvey Hull
Mx not known (Original Stack O'Lee Blues) Black Patti label credits artists as Long Cleve Reed and Little Harvey Hull Down Home Boys (i.e.no quotes around Cleve, a " after Hull, and no parenthesis around Down Home Boys
(from inspection of online label scan)
(source=http://www.vintage78.com/siteCF/images/labels/ctryblues/label1.jpg)
p. 431 - Mike Jackson
Mx 34738-1 (Just Too Bad) and Mx 35739-2 (I'm Gonna Kill Myself) -- both sides of Vi 20181 are as by Mabel Richardson Mike Jackson
(from inspection of label scan provided with ebay record auction)
p. 462 - Lonnie Johnson
Your note under Mx 401981-A and 401982-B indicates Vo 03094 uses Arabic numerals for Part 1 and Part 2; at least some labels actually use Roman numerals Part I and Part II.? (from inspection of label scan provided with ebay record auction).
Also, as I previously emailed to you, I actually purchased this record, and when it arrived, the matrix numbers actually stamped in the run-off of Vo 03094 (this is the Gold on Black label, if it matters) are as follows:
IT FEELS SO GOOD - Part I W401622A (which is the matrix for the same title on p. 461, Okeh 8664
IT FEELS SO GOOD - Part II? W401623D (which is the matrix for the same title on p. 461, Okeh 8664)
So instead of corresponding to Okeh's It Feels So Good - Part 3 / Part 4 as your note on page 462 suggests, MY copy of Vo 03094 correctly matches up with Okeh's It Feels So Good - Part 1 / Part 2.? Subsequent to this, I purchased a copy of Okeh 8664, and Vo 03094 has exactly the same lyrics as Ok 8664.? Wave form analysis also proves they are identical on both sides.? Visually, they are from the same master, with the same matrix numbers appearing in the same relative location to the run-off grooves.? This seems to leave us with just a few unanswered questions:
* Did Vocalion ALSO issue 03094 with matrices 401981-A and 401982-B?
* If Vo 03094 does exist with matrices 401981-A and 401982-B, did this coupling use arabic numbers Part 1 and Part 2, as in your page 462 note, or did it use roman numerals Part I and Part II as on my copy of 03094?
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to these two questions.? Perhaps you know the source of your original comment, and can verify that information.? That would be fortunate, wouldn't it?
