Charlie this one is not the one put out by Oak Publications, but it does have some really good photographs of the movie put out by Paramount. The Back cover is a really good picture of 'Hudie and his ole 12 string' in a double breasted suit, bow tie and lookin' about as dapper as he probably ever looked. He must have been playin' for Gov'nor Pat Neff.

Two different versions of Black Girl are included in this anthology. One was collected by (Behan-Sharpe), and the other is credited to Ledbetter. They are both fine. ****
