[78-L] Jimmie Rodgers box set

[DAVID BURNHAM]

Forget about any box set other than the one Bear Family put out about 15 years ago. It also has that scarce minstrel routine "Pullman Porters" featuring Rodgers and I.N. Bronsen that was never issued.

Well maybe the JSP set isn't lifted from the Bear Family one because it doesn't have "Pullman Porters".  It has 109 tracks on 5 CDs, so either one of the songs is a 2 sided one or something's missing, because I don't think they would have issued a 1 sided record.  It does include "Jimmie Rodgers visits the Carter Family" and "The Carter family and Jimmie Rodgers in Texas".  Maybe one of those was a 2 sided disc, (there are no timings on the cases and I'm not near a player).
