10 inch 78 rpm / 7 inch 45 rpm
Since this ain't no museum, my aim is not to depict actually existing specimen of 78 rpm records,
but to show the labels as pristine as workmanlike possible

even if this - in some cases - takes a whole lot of my time to photoshop process the initial data

Chris Strachwitz @ facebook: "Arhoolie never officially issued colored vinyl pressings. However around 1961 - 1963 Ed Denson and I had purchased a small, older record pressing plant in East Oakland which had previously been used by Bob Geddins. At that time pressings of 12" LPs were still made by supplying the pressers with 'biscuits' in the form of a chocolate bars which had to be heated on a 'heating table' next to the press. They came usually in black but you could also get them in various colors! So we thought it to be fun to try out a few like that! And that is how a few copies of (I think) Lowell Fulson and Lil Son Jackson were shipped out on colored vinyl!"

compiled by Samuel B. Charters
"The Material is in part from unissued material in the author's collection, in part from material on the author's Folkways releases, and in part from early blues recordings."

"All original recordings are included in their entirety" (RBF notes), while the previously unissued tracks (Charters' "field recordings") all seem to be cut short, "some without the courtesy of a proper fadeout, some of the cuts occur mid-stanza" (Charles Radcliffe review in Blues Unlimited 30, pp. 20-21)
