Comments and Reviews


fixbutte 26th Jun 2020		As the uploaded labels show, cat# 145 is actually correct for this one. Interestingly, there is not only the Trumpet ad with the wrong cat# 125 ("Get On The Santa Claus Blues Train With Sonny Boy Williamson") on page 74 of the Billboard Dec 1, 1951 issue but also a second label ad with four "Trumpet Hits", one of them this record with the accurate cat# (both now uploaded). The review on page 116 of the same issue gives the correct cat# as well but lists "Pontiac Blues" as the top side, which is also rated slightly better there.

musictom SUBS 28th Oct 2016		Ad in Billboard shows cat # as 125. Blues Records, Vol 2 and Blues Discography both show the Cat # as 145 which I believe is correct.
