[78-L] Jules Bledsoe [was Roland Hayes]

[david.diehl at hensteeth.com]

The mx. numbers appear to be Ultraphon recordings made in Paris around 1933 but not listed in Rust. I don't have the master numbers for Royale 1702: Does He Love you/ Du Bist die Ruh. 
The Joe Davis set is from the Royales, not 1939. I have that Ol Man River- seems like it's on World's Greatest something-or-other with a false mx. number.

I have a Jules Bledsoe disc that was issued anonymously on one of Oberstein's labels: Ol' Man River & That's Why Darkies Were Born. Hmm..wonder if it was pirated from English Decca, where he recorded those two songs in 1931? I also have the Royale issue of Go Down Moses & Deep River, but not the Joe Davis issue of the other sides recorded around this time (Rust says "New York, c. late 1939-early 1940) but the Royale label says "recorded in Europe").Obviously not from the acoustic era, but can anyone shed light on these sides anyway?dlBirgit Lotz Verlag wrote:> Hi Thomas,> We are busy working on a GIGANTIC re-issue set of all recordings made by > people of African descent in Europe during the acoustic era.
