Roots and Blues - Retrospective 1925-1950
Roots and Blues - Retrospective 1925-1950 (1992)
4 CD | Genre: Blues | Release: 1992 | MP3 320 kbps | 744 MB
A 4 CD box set released in the early 1990s as part of Columbia Legacy's reissue program. Contains classics and curios (many previously unreleased) from the Columbia vaults - over 4 and a half hours of music. I've played this set for years without growing tired of it, even if there's a fair amount of mediocre material included.
