Comments and Reviews

Fokeman 7th Feb 2020		This particular label seems to have Custom pressing codes from RCA or a similar organisation. Does anyone recognise the pressing codes found here? They would suggest 1959 to me (particularly the K which was the RCA code for 1959)
Fokeman 28th Jan 2020		After extensive research, I'm pretty certain that this was the first issue and that the "New Orleans Washboard Blues" was the second. This is the earliest possible address that Folk-Lyric was to be found at - 3323 Morning Glory, Baton Rouge. The earliest records I can find with this address are the second issue of the second record that the LFA ever issued (quite early). Whereas if this was the later issue, it is difficult to explain why the 1945 Bay Street, Baton Rouge address (a later address) is to be found on the earlier issue. For this to happen, the white and yellow NOWBlues cover had to be named first, then the Possum Up A Simmon Tree, and then the original cover be reinstated AND I have only ever seen the NOWB cover with the later address. I therefore conclude that THIS issue is the first issue and that they decided on a more artistically appealing and more descriptive title and cover to attract the buyers with the later issue. Only on the Jesse Fuller, do I find a final change of (different) address, yet the Morning Glory address appears quite often and quite late in the run of records. I wondered if there was a possibility of different records being released with different addresses on the rear of sleeve. That would indeed be an odd state of affairs! i.e. Morning Glory, Bay Street, and then back to Morning Glory? Finally, that Logo! I don't think they were using that steamboat logo until about 1962/1963 so the idea that it was issued in 1959 (and yet they didn't use the logo on anything else till much later) seems to tell a different story Stefan.
Fokeman 27th Jan 2020		What is confusing is all the address changes. The 1945 Bay Street address which is found on the New Orleans Washboard LP is the same as a 1962 issue of "Hot Blues" by Smoky Babe.
Fokeman 27th Jan 2020		OK, I'll amend...
StefanWirz 16th Jan 2020		... afaik, "New Orleans Washboard Blues", with the same catalogue number FL 107, was the first (1959) edition, not, as the "notes" tell us, the "later" (1960) one!
