fixbutte 6th Jun 2017		This record was apparently meant as the start of a new Chess series for country music (the general series had started with a similar number, 1425) which was immediately forgotten though, see The Chess Label Part I (1950-1952): Finally, the brothers picked up two isolated Country sides by Guy Blakeman and His Blue Grass Serenaders. These apparently came from Stan Lewis in Shreveport, Louisiana; Lewis had been a distributor since the Aristocrat days, and in the future he would become a somewhat more regular supplier. It appears that Leonard and Phil got them in August 1950 (as suggested by the U7000 matrix numbers that the sides ended up with). We had thought that the Blakeman record didn't appear until November 1952. Could be that it was reissued then, but the single was reviewed in Cash Box on October 28, 1950 (p. 19). This helps to explain how it ended up being one of the two singles that were given the number Chess 1525. Most likely, 1525 was meant to start a new series for Country music. But nothing followed it, the intention was soon forgotten, and apart from a couple of isolated releases in the main 1425 series, Chess wouldn't revert to Country till the company launched its 4858 series in 1954. In total, there were 6 sides purchased in 1950, all of which saw release that year.
