hello y'all

I really want to get my hands on the Bukka White Complete Sessions 1939–1940, released on Travellin' Man records or The Complete Recordings released on Columbia, 1994, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere I look....
Any leads?

Thanx

I have a lovely set on Catfish that compiles all his pre-1943 issued sides: Bukka White 'Shake 'Em On Down' Catfish KATCD-106. For some reason, I cannot find it listed on the Catfish site. One hopes that it has not been deleted already - it was released in 1999. CDNow has it listed, with track listing.

Here's a link to alude.com. They have the Complete Recordings from 34 to 40. Mebbe not the same one you're hunting though.

Bukka (Booker) White. (They say he didn't like to be called Bukka and thought it demeaned his real name.)

If you click the Record Shop above and leave a special request for Dick Greenhouse (CAMSCO) he has an amazing ability to track down and get those hard to find cuts in record time. If for some reason it can't be got he'll tell you up front rather than leave you hanging for delivery for a month or so.

It also helps the cat keep running...

And theres a video of Bukka White and Son House that you can get from Amazon, or Alligator. Well worth the 12 bucks...
