This is the Motherlode of pre-war blues reissues. It is likely JSP's finest release to date. Paramount started business in Wisconsin as a furniture manufacturer in the late 1800's but figured that the demand for record playing machines ensconced in wood cabinets would create a new market for shellac and vinyl records as well. In spite of their hamfisted business practices (Paramount was bankrupt by the 1930's), they managed to get a whole lot of fabulous Afro-American talent to record for their label (thanks to talent scout J. Mayo Williams), the likes of Charley Patton, Meade Lux Lewis, Bo Weevil Jackson, Bumble Bee Slim, Moanin' Bernice Edwards, Little Brother Montgomery, Roosevelt Sykes, Charlie Spand, Papa Charlie Jackson, and of course, the peerless Geeshie (Geechie) Wiley. If you've never heard her "Eagles on a Half", you deserve to listen to it now. This set has 100 titles of some of the rarest blues ever recorded for just $25. Some of the 78's from which this collection was dubbed, sell on the collector's market for hundreds, even thousands of dollars a shot. In spite of the poor quality shellac that Paramount pressed their music on, the virtuosity of this music still comes through some 80 years later.

The sound quality on some records is not good.
