About this item

Two CD set. This 2015 offering in Ace's ongoing King Acetates series presents Wynonie Harris as no collector has ever heard him before. The first CD contains the master takes of every surviving previously issued acetate master of Wynonie's. The second features two dozen alternate takes of his earliest King successes, featuring not a single previously released version among them. This second disc also includes several previously unreleased songs from the King of Blues Shouters. Although he has been extensively anthologized on CD in the past, this is a Wynonie-fest guaranteed to satisfy even the most ardent collector with a sound quality that no previously released anthology of these recordings could hope to match.
