The Complete Capitol / Black & White Recordings

~ Release by T‐Bone Walker (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Compilation of recordings on the Capitol and the Black & White labels from Los Angeles, 1940s.
As described in the booklet, track 1 on Disc 1 was recorded for Varsity in 1940, and tracks 2 and 3 on Disc 1 are Capitol recordings from 1942. The remainder of the tracks are from 1946 and 1947 recording sessions for Black & White. Strangely, the booklet track list pp. 36-39 assigns recording dates in 1949-05 to some of these 1946-47 recordings.
