    nice, thanks,,,,,but I had to delete, no dates & no label info, cant add it to my collection without recording dates, no info to use to look up the dates, after trying to date first few just by title I gave up & deleted whole thing, totally worthless to me without accurate dates, even if I like it cause theres no way to file it

    hi,
    There are no dates on the album either, infact finding dates for rarities like this is nearly impossible. These were recorded on small labels, as the title says and those folks didn't tend to keep ledgers etc like the big guys did.
    Did you manage to find dates for the other posts on this blog?
    No offence, but how do you manage to find dates or even reasonably rare recordings?
    if you'd like mt to find at least the approximate years these were recorde in from the cover i'll give it a shot :d

    if you have the label name & number in most cases they can be dated, but unfortunatly in the early days many songs were issued on more than one label, & unless there was an affiliation between those labels, they are often different takes recorded at different times (example- Vernan Dalhart did Wreck Of Okd 97 at least a dozen times on at least 10 labels over a 5 yr period) so without the correct label & #, the songs have no value at all

    Frankly it was my first visit here & after finding no usable info with my first download, I didnt bother to do any others, without dates I cant add to my files, & yes many compilation albums dont bother to give the buyer the info, I personally wouldnt waste my time with any that dont at least list the original label & issue number

    well stay tuned because i will try and help you with at least label info, there could be some of that on the sleeve or something.
    I just personally think the music is of primary importance and would rather concentrate on getting these rae recordings out there in any form what so eve.
    Does this not seriously limit your jazz buying? how do you get on with 78s as they don't have dates on or don't you bother? genuinely curious

      I agree the sounds are the main thing, but when you have a tigabite hard drive filled you have to have some way to organise them, dropping a compilation into a folder with thousands of other albums so the songs are lost without an easy way to find them isnt the answer, for me I settled on time period folders a long time ago (ie (1920 - 29) (1930 -39) (1940 - 49) ect) so dates are very important to me just to have a folder to put them in so I can find them again, Cheers

    I wish I could ind more of this stuff to actually download, where do you get it? :d
    There was a set of torrents by decade, 1920-29 30-39 etc that i never was able to download. I admire those who can keep things in such an organised way, but i have about 10 thousand 78s and 5 thousand plus lps and am a little more bothered about those than the digital stuff.
    I think most of this is from 26 to 29, but you would probably do well to do what i do with misc stuff and create a !other folder, or something.
    I'll try and find those record numbers for you thouh, my other posts shouldn't be as much of a problem for you :d
