Roger, you are quite correct. He recorded it in September 1925 in Chicago - 'All I Want Is a Spoonful' Paramount 12320. Paul Oliver comments in 'Screenign the Blues' that Jackson 'has a light swing to his syncopated banjo accompaniment which expresses his enjoyment in the song even if his amendment of the words gives scarcely a hint of its original lustiness'. Early collectors such as Odum and Johnson had hinted coyly about such pieces in oral circulation, but did not quote them. Evidently, all the recorded versions are but a shadow of what existed in tradition. Mack McCormick has written in an essay entitled 'The Damned Tinkers': '... the blue pencil has amputated numerous verses which are traditionally sung as part of popular pieces such as "Salty Dog", "Willie the Weeper", "Corrine Corrina" and "Uncle Bud". Though bits and pieces have appeared on commercial records and are elsewhere hinted at, it is only in the folk community itself that one will hear "The Dirty Dozens", "'Bout A Spoonful" or "Big Balls In Texas" in their full-blown classic form'.
