Description
Skip James lp The Greatest Of The Delta Blues Singers Factory Shrink in very close to MINT Condition.
James had recorded for the Paramount label in the 1930s without success. He was "rediscovered" in 1964 by the blues enthusiasts John Fahey, Bill Barth and Henry Vestine who found him in a hospital in Tunica, Mississippi.
Fahey and his partner in Takoma Records, ED Denson, signed James to a recording contract and he recorded at Gene Rosethal's basement studio in Silver Spring, Maryland. Because of legal issues concerning the rights to the songs, the recording was not released by Takoma. It was eventually released as She Lyin'.
The material for Greatest of the Delta Blues Singers was recorded in the home of the musicologist and author Richard K. Spottswood in December 1964 and completed in July 1965.
Great Stuff to say the least
