Just scanned in tape # 2 (of 6) in the 1950 R & B series:

Fred, when you find this person who ONLY needs to have the time available to do
these tapes. make sure that he/she has a 78 turntable, as some of these items
were never reissued in any form. That way, when you somehow find a copy of the
78 in playable condition, this person will be able to play it.
SOME INTERESTING LESSER KNOWN ITEMS:
Still In The Dark - Pretty good pre-Atlantic Turner item.
Turkey Hop - Robins - Good uptempo number, part 2, later in the tape was the
same song as an instrumental.
Information Blues - Roy Milton - One of his best non-ballads.
3 x 7 = 21 - Wilhelms, tell your taper to be careful here, most every LP and CD
contain a totally different, later version of this rather than the 1950
release.
Back Biting Woman - Billy Wright - Savoy Special by Little Richard's mentor.
What's Happening - Paul Williams - Another good Savoy record, the same Connie
Allen who sings on "Rocket 69" is the vocalist.
Count Every Star - Ravens - classic early vocal group record.
