This cd is part of the KING/ DELUXE ACETATE SERIES that Ace has released over the past few years. The sound quality of these 60+ year old recordings is nothing short of amazing.....it really sounds like they are in your room with you!!!..........During 1947 and 1948 the DeLuxe label held many pioneering sessions in New Orleans, long before most other independent labels got there. A significant number of the city's biggest names, including Roy Brown, Smiley Lewis and Dave Bartholomew made their first recordings at these sessions. Roy Brown and the company's local A&R man Paul Gayten apart, the surviving acetates by almost all of the other R&B artists who DeLuxe recorded in New Orleans are featured. They include eight previously unissued sides and two by Smiley Lewis, for which no 78rpm disc is known to exist, so it might as well have not been issued..........
