This should be interesting, though they missed badly on the Terry Callier selections (How do you not select "Dancing Girl", which is Stepney's masterpiece, and "Alley-Wind Song" for this set?), and on the Dells ("I Can Sing A Rainbow/Love is Blue" is inexplicably absent).

When I saw their monthly email this morning I totally thought of you.

 

On a related note, outside of the topic at hand:  I really have to unsubscribe from Ace Records.  Its probably 3 years now since they released a new blues or R&B comp.  Like, at all.  Ace Records that doesn't issue new/old music in those genres is enormously disappointing to me.

+1.  I have so many of those great Kent anthology CD's on my shelves, and they now put out maybe 1-2 discs a year that is of interest to me.  May be that the market is pretty dried up for that sort of release.
