    Nice. I posted a tentatively "complete recordings" of Calvin Leavy some years ago on my blog (https://jukegh.blogspot.com/2014/07/calvin-leavy.html) with a bio. It brought the attention to Calvin's daughter who contacted me asking me to send her copies of her father's records that she didn't have! I feel the links of this post are deleted for long. If possible, and if there are some interest on Calvin, I could post a revised and completed post and links of the recordings.

    @ Gerard, I downloaded your original post years ago but an upgrade would always be welcome. I seem to remember that a couple of tracks where missing or very hard to find. Also good to read that you could give Calvin's daughter copies of his music.

    Thanks Xyros. Yes I have now the almost "complete" recordings of this fine artist and I will make a revised and completed post about him. I remember Calvin was an important name around Memphis during the late 70's & early 80's. Unfortujnately he died in prison in the same Cummins Farm penitentiary that he had made infamous on his great record and a smash hit throughout the south.

    Hi!

    Thanx for this one. A "new" artist here = "new" hears here too.

    Cheers!
    Ciao! For now.

    Gerard:

    Thanks a lot for the revised Calvin Leavy Complete Recordings. Truly underappreciated.

    I have this album in FLAC if you, or anyone else would like it. Let me know, and I can post a Sendgb link to it here, or send it directly to you, if you wish.

    @ thebird, thank you for both links but I see that " The Best Of" is already a flac version. Cummins Prison has been updated. Many thanks.
