Additional information
Personnel: Bessie Smith (vocals). Liner Note Author: Charles Boldt. Recording information: New York (01/14/1925); New York (02/16/1923); New York (03/02/1927); New York (03/20/1928); New York (04/26/1923); New York (05/05/1925); New York (05/15/1929); New York (05/26/1925-05/27/1925); New York (07/22/1930); New York (09/26/1924); New York (09/27/1927); New York (10/15/1923); New York (10/26/1926); New York (11/24/1933). Bessie Smith's passionate vocals overrode the primitive recording technology of her era and made her the zenith of female blues singers from the 1920s and '30s. This collection takes a quick survey of her career over two-dozen tracks recorded between 1923 and 1933 in New York in sessions with such jazz icons as Benny Goodman, Coleman Hawkins, Pee Wee Russell, and Fletcher Henderson, including her seminal 1925 version of W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues." An exercise in simplicity, Smith's version of the song features only her voice, Armstrong's answering cornet, and Fred Longshaw on a wheezing reed organ. The end result is one of the greatest performances in pop history. Also featured here is Smith's breakthrough side "Downhearted Blues," plus wonderful takes on "Careless Love Blues" and "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," all of which show what this one of a kind and larger than life singer could do with a song. ~ Steve Leggett

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
