Alex Van Der Tuuk

An excellent history of the premier blues record company, Follows the story from beginning to end, and is written clearly and interestingly. Contains very many new illustrations, reproduced in excellent quality. It may be either my memory or my growing interest in the labels per se, but this seems to me to be a striking advance over the previous edition. I would consider it a model for other blues label books, such as Gennett, OKeh, Vocalion, etc.
