Don't Ask Me ... I Don’t Know has been around now for about 14 years posting Blues LP’s and CD’s and whatever else I feel like.
Your help in filling requests or with LP/CD rips are always very welcome and greatly appreciated. Enjoy the music but don't forget to support the artists and labels.
Thank you and Frits for those extremely rare sides. Without being totally sure, I feel all those sides (even Big Muddy which is a very different version) seem to come from the same 1987 session that gave the 45 Penny Pincher. Unless it is a demo tape made by Larry anyway late in his career
Finally, after a careful listening to those tracks, I feel there definitely come from the New York City 1987 session, the last (?) from Larry. The personnel is: Larry Dale, vcl/g; Wild Jimmy Spruill, g; Charles Collins, kbds/bs/dms (machine). Only one title was issued on a Juke Blues 45 at the time, the flip being a vocal by Spruill. The Juke Blues label was associated with the excellent british magazine of the same name. How those tracks have come on a cassette that it seems very few people were aware of, is a mystery. Maybe the people at Juke Blues would know better... Anyway, despite the poor sound, this is a very valuable addition to the Larry Dale's discography.

Thanks for this repost. I was not watching blogs when you posted this first. Now I see what I have been missing!
Hello Xyros,
can you repost it again? I missed it last spring.
Thanks,

TYVM Frits.
