VARIOUS-BLUES & GOSPEL Mississippi Blues (US 14-track LP, on the red Yazoo label, housed in a heavyweight pasted sleeve. Superb compilation on one of the very first reissue labels founded in the late 1960s by Nick Perl, specializing in early American blues, country,jazz, and other rural American genres. As the title suggests this LP focuses on early blues from the Mississippi area and includes material from the known; Skip James, Charlie Patton, Son House, Robert Johnson to the lesser known; Mattie Delaney, Bobby Grant, Geechie Wiley. The sleeve shows some edgwear but is otherwise excellent and the vinyl is excellent as well L-1001).
