Comment by Mike Gann:

"Someday Baby" was recorded by Sleepy John Estes in 1935. "Worried Life Blues" and "Trouble No More" splintered off from that.

Comment by RadioAl:

Versions of "Worried Life Blues" have been recorded as "Someday, Baby".

Alert 200 - A/B images of 2 label variants (#1 & 2) added. On 200-B #2 the credit is in narrow font, as on Bascomb's 201, and therefore I added it as the later version. But 201-204 have a narrow font and 205-206 have a broad font, so probably the original release of 200 has the narrow font and the type I called #1 is the later pressing. - Note that the image on discogs of 200-B #1 is a "corrected" and blackened version of the same copy, as shown by the faintly visible scratch at 5.

Alert 413 - label images added. Of side A 2 variants are known, with different credit and difference in the composer's name. Also the description on the uncommon variant (which I have included as #1) is "Vocal Blues". I assumed that variant #1, with composer McGhee, was earlier than #2 with Brownie McGhee, but afterwards am not sure of that as Alert 425 also only shows McGhee.

Alert 401 - label images added, from archive where the music can be heard. In the Alert 400 series, this is the last release with the 2 towers logo.
