Beware

Classic Stuff Smith and Eddie South and other releases on certain generic budget labels may
be a temporary convenience in some cases but they cannot seriously be recommended
because of problematic transfers or deficiencies in information and programming.
Improper reworking of earlier dubbed releases tends to introduce or perpetuate errors and
undermines the future of well researched releases transferred from original sources.

Jazz Oracle BDW8008 Richmond Rarities is the only recommended CD with SmithÕs 1928–1930 recordings
though we cannot agree a suggested identification of TrentÕs drummer.
Hep CD1085 is the only complete CD of SmithÕs 1936–1937 Vocalions and Deccas plus a selection of airchecks.
AB Fable CDs are the only CDs of SmithÕs most essential unreleased with released
1939–1946 recordings in transfers from original sources.
Progressive PCD7053 is the only complete CD of SmithÕs 1943 transcriptions.

Frog DGF36 is the only complete CD of SouthÕs 1927–1934 Victor etc recordings with
previously unreleased takes and titles in transfers from original sources.
Frog have also released new transfers of South in Paris 1937 on Reinhardt Swing Sessions Vols 1 & 2.
Soundies SCD4120 is the only complete CD of SouthÕs 1944 Standard and Jubilee Transcriptions.
