Notizen dazu:
The company was in no hurry to release anything here. Columbia 30161 (from the period when the company was putting "race" series numbers on its records) was reviewed, not too favorably, in Billboard on June 11, 1949 (p. 124).
There has been some confusion (which we contributed to in the past) about the correct number on the other Columbia single, but it is 40494. Columbia 40494 was a 78 and 45-rpm single issued in 1955; it was mentioned in Billboard on April 30 (p. 22). The coupling was “Ebony Rhapsody“, from Howard's session of June 10, 1947 with the Big Three Trio, and the rationale behind the exercise was that “Ebony Rhapsody“ had been a hit. The ZSP numbers were attached to the sides in 1955.
It's worth noting that there are copies of the original “Ebony Rhapsody“ with its 35000 series number (37573) and with its number in the "race" series (30053). However, the record sold so well ("close to 250,000 copies in the Midwest," according to the 1955 notice in Billboard) that we suspect there were multiple pressing runs, and the release number was changed in the second half of 1948, when more labels had to be printed. The original release listing in Billboard (August 9, 1947) and the Billboard charts (from February through June 1948) always identify it as Columbia 37573. We have not found any mentions in the trade papers with the 30053 number.
Columbia CAK 47911 was a 4-CD set, “Roots 'n Blues: The Retrospective (1925-1950)“, released around 1990. RST JPCD 1514 is a CD titled “Rosetta Howard (1939-1947)“. It was issued in 1994.
