CARL LOTTS "THE WANDERING BLUES BOY"



WHICH ONE CAME FIRST?






I am inclined to suggest that the DELMARTI release was first, simply because it lacks any composer credits and there is no publisher noted. The logic behind this suggestion is that I imagine the record it was reissued by Carl Lotts himself, who included all the relevant details on the label, although why the label was called LOT instead of LOTTS is another question!
