J.A.W. Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 Thanks for posting this, Jason. I'll order the Bessie Smith. By the way, I've edited my Blues and R&B list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 And the Clarence Williams stuff is excellent as well. . . Volume One is really fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKE BBB Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 I´ll include the Bessie (and probably the Williams) in my next worldsrecords.com order. Maybe for Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.W. Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 (edited) Great news: Frog's owner David French told me he's working on Bessie Vol.7 at the moment and he's going to try and get the last two volumes (7 and 8) out before Christmas. He takes direct orders: Frog Records site. Edited October 31, 2003 by J.A.W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Is the Williams on Frog generally the "best" way (sonically) to go? I only have one Williams disc (on a non-"legit" label), and would like to change that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 You know, the Williams discs on Frog sound great. So do the ones on Collectors Classics. But I also must say the Chronogical (sic) Classics editions are excellent sounding, and a great way to collect the majority of the sides. I have about nine of these, may try to get those I'm missing one day soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
