Roy Brown - Payday Jump: 1949-51 Sessions

2015 collection, part of Ace Records' King Acetates Series. This second compilation by iconic rhythm 'n' blues man Roy Brown focuses predominantly on the sides that Roy cut for DeLuxe Records after King Records founder and boss Syd Nathan bought the label in late 1949. 'Hard Luck Blues', 'Boogie At Midnight', 'Love Don't Love Nobody' and all of Roy's other big records for DeLuxe from the period are included - all sounding better than ever as they are mastered from recently-minted transfers of the original King acetates. Eight of the 24 selections are either completely unissued performances or previously unissued alternate takes, making this a must for even the most ardent Roy Brown collector.
