Product Description:

In the 1920's, record companies sought profit by selling blues to a Black audience. Record sale soared. Sexual themes and references were thinly disguised and this four CD remastered set features rent men, butchers, bakers, gasmen, coffee grinders, fyying pans, cigarettes, furniture and, unkindly, a bicycle.
