PROFESSOR LONGHAIR - TIPITINAThe Complete 1949-1957 New Orleans Recordings - Important Artists 7802
Carries the rare first recordings from 1949 on the Star Talent label...
Now days the origianal Star Talent singles change hands for MEGA
$$$Bucks ....seem to recall a story from a few years back about Dylan
actually tracking down and purchasing a copy of the Star Talent 808 single..
Also includes the Atlantic material that was recorded in late 1949
after Ahmet Ertegun went on down to New orleans looking for fresh talent......
Worth the purchase to hear the Professor's crippling blues -
Her Mind Is Gone on Mercury
Mercury ....Wasco ....Federal & Ebb material along with rare alternative takes
are inluded on the 2CD set..........
The classic Atlantic material as a seperate item can also be found on the on the CD
