[78-L] Bessie Smith on Parlophone

[Matthew Duncan]

They are 40s/50s era British reissues sold separately as opposed to in album sets.
They were released with the jazz collector in mind - trad jazz was big and they could mix new recordings with old in their catalogues.

Someone may be able to date the release of these more precisely I imagine.

Cheers
Matt,

I found a couple Parlophone records featuring Bessie Smith, # R2477 & R2482.  These
appear to be later issues, probably not something from the 1920s.  Also, the center of each
record on one side has a raised S T under the label at the center.  Are these from an album 
compilation or some other reissue?

These labels can be viewed at:

Any info would be much appreciated!  Thanks!
