Since I haven't read it at all, please understand that it's in the same condition as it was on the bookstore shelf. Special Price: ¥1,980 Blues & Soul Records No. 180 Feature: The World of Pre-War Blues "Pre-War Blues" refers to blues recorded before World War II. This feature will follow the trends of pre-war blues to some extent, while introducing blues recorded from the 1920s to the early 1940s, classified by style and region. Some are as old as 100 years ago. It's music from a distant era. The 78 rpm SP records of the time have significant scratch noise, and photos of the blues singers/musicians who were active then are in black and white. While the image of being old and worn out tends to take precedence, we must not forget that blues was the cutting-edge popular music of the time. Welcome to the world of pre-war blues, a treasure trove of fresh music. ★ See, feel, and reflect: A Pictorial Guide to Pre-War Blues Records [Akira Kochi] ★ Pre-War Blues on LP: Tracing Approximately 20 Years Through Trends/Styles/People [Giants of Pre-War Blues] Bessie Smith Ma Rainey Blind Blake Blind Lemon Jefferson Lead Belly Charley Patton Mississippi Sheiks Memphis Jug Band Memphis Minnie Blind Willie McTell Leroy Carr Lonnie Johnson Roosevelt Sykes Big Bill Broonzy Sonny Boy Williamson Sleepy John Estes Blind Boy Fuller Tampa Red Robert Johnson ★ [Column] 8 Pre-War Blues Reissue Labels [Other Main Articles] ● [Interview] × Announcing the 2nd album "Two Seconds of Imprisonment"!
