Vinyl Spin Of The Day.

Publishers Central Bureau in its pre-Internet day was THE discount mail order book and record seller. They eventually began licensing rare recordings from the major labels to create their own new collections like this one from the vaults of Columbia Records. Over the course of 6 LP's it takes a deep dive into the singers of the 30's and 40's from Ella Fitzgerald to Harry Cool, not to mention Snooky Lanson.

Art Blakey - Blakey (1954)
