Blues LPs part 2

Ray Charles may well have had more LPs issued that any other blues or R and B artist of the fities, sixties and seventies. Certainly I have a lot of them in my collection and I suspect there are many others that I do not own. The first photo shows another three from his Atlantic period and nine from his time at ABC Paramount which were released in the UK on HMV. These include the two Modern Sounds in Country and Western albums and one with Betty Carter.

We continue the Ray Charles theme with some more HMV LPs, a Twist album on Atlantic, and others recorded for his Tangerine label. There are also some on the Probe label.

The next batch includes some more Ray Charles LPs including one on Stateside and one on Bluesway. Next up we move into doowop with the Clovers, including one on UK Atlantic, and rock and roll with four by the Coasters. There is also one LP by Gary B B Coleman on Ichiban and one by Albert Collins on Sonet.

The fourth montage includes two more by Albert Collins and a couple by Johnny Copeland. There's also one by James Cotton, who I saw several times on US trips, and five by the Robert Cray Band, who are still keeping the blues alive today and who I've also seen recently (pre pandemic of course). There are also a couple of albums by Arthur 'Big Boy' Crudup, including 'Roebuck Man' on United Artists.

The final photo this time shows LPs by Arthir Crudup, James 'Thunderbird' Davis, Jimmy Dawkins and David Dee, who I was impressed by when I saw him at Utrecht in 1993. Then there are eight classic LPs by Bo Diddley from his time at Chess, including six that were released on Pye International and one where he shared a side each with Chuck Berry.
