Gabe's Dirty Blues R&B circa 1973

GABE'S DIRTY BLUES Gabe McManus had a passion for R&B music and owned a couple of bars in Seattle in the 40's, 50's & 60's. He wanted everyone to get a flavor of some of the music that wasn't too popular with the main stream at the time, so he compiled a 2-album compilation of some great old R&B music. It took me months to track down a true vinyl copy of the album, which I eventually found through a wanted ad on Craigslist! The album & cover were in super-good condition and I had them ripped, scanned the covers and finally compiled GABE'S DIRTY BLUES in 100% digital format! The complete 2-album set has 30 tracks totaling 78:05 minutes, so it can be burned in CDA format onto 1 CD-ROM! I did compress the entire set, forcing everyone to download, then seed, the complete 30 song album. This helps preserve the entire torrent and prevents "cherry picking" of favorite songs. It is compressed with 7-Zip format (Windows freeware, Google it). WINRAR & WINZIP will both decompress this file. Don't waste time complaining, just enjoy. I've included the following in the archive: * All 30 songs in MP3 format (320 kbps) * All 30 songs in WAV format (original RIP from vinyl to WAV) * Album cover (front & back) Scans in high res * Album center scans * PDF with complete details (within the torrent as a separate file) * Both MP3 & WAV files have ID3 tags + cover art embedded Play List: 01. Fever - Little Willie John 02. Walkin' The Blues - Champion Jack Dupree 03. Sick & Tired - Lula Reed 04. Shake 'em Up, Baby - Roy Brown 05. Work With Me Annie - Hank Ballard and The Midnighters 06. Cherry Wine - Little Esther Phillips 07. 60-Minute Man - Billy Ward & The Dominoes 08. Ride, Jockey, Ride - The Lamplighters 09. Keep On Churnin' - Wynonie Harris 10. Rocket 69 - Todd Rhodes 11. 10-Inch Record - Bull Moose Jackson 12. Black Diamond - Roy Brown 13. Jealous Love - Lula Reed 14. Bloodshot Eyes - Wynonie Harris 15. Sexy Ways - Hank Ballard & The Midnighters 16. Salty Dog - The Lamplighters 17. Monkey, Hips and Rice - The 5 Royales 18. T-99 - Tiny Bradshaw 19. Rock Love - Lula Reed 20. Wasn't That Good - Wynonie Harris 21. Annie Had A Baby - Hank Ballard & The Midnighters 22. Girl From Kokomo - Roy Brown 23. All Around the World - Little Willie John 24. I Want a Bow-Legged Woman - Bull Moose Jackson 25. Quiet Whiskey - Wynonie Harris 26. Use What You Got - Freddy King 27. Queen Of Diamonds - Roy Brown 28. Loving Machine - Wynonie Harris 29. Shake That Thing - Wynonie Harris 30. Adam Come Get Your Rib - Wynonie Harris Tech corner: How I ripped them from vinyl to digital: I used a Technics SL-1200 Mk2 turntable and Stanton Groovemaster cartridge running through a modified Bottlehead Seduction phono preamp. I run the output of the Seduction into an EMU 0404 sound card via custom built RCA to 1/4" interconnects. Analog audio is captured & edited with Audacity, then exported as a WAV file. Burn to CD with Nero, as it allows CDA file tagging. This is a rare album, so keep it alive in peer-to-peer, blog's or whatever your favorite file sharing method is!
