Notes

Appears to be an Italian reissue of a 1970 French release, with slightly different cover art.

"Recorded by IMPACT S.p.A.
Distribuzione Fonit - Cetra"

A1-4 recorded September 7, 1929 - Richmond, Ind.
A5&6 recorded February 1930 - Grafton, Wis.
A7&8 recorded August 1930 - Grafton, Wis.
B1-8 recorded September 22, 1932 - Richmond, Ind.

A1&2 attributed to "Roosevelt Sykes (under pseudonym Dobby Bragg)", while the Dobby Bragg on A7&8 "may be Roosevelt Sykes, but sounds more like Wesley Wallace".

A2 features someone who is "probably Edith Johnson, talking".
