Thematically, there’s not much to tie together today’s 45 rpm selections other than that our artists’ names (Slim and Pee Wee) seem to indicate slightness of size. They’re here as part of my efforts to digitize gems plucked from my parents’ collection and because 1.) the Pee Wee King record from Feb. 1955 “Tweedlee Dee” backed with “You Can’t Hardy Get them No More” was one that amused me as youngster in the ’70s and 2.) the Memphis Slim 1958 45 of “What’s the Matter” backed with “This Time I’m Through” caught my eye with my more recent (and belated) interest in vintage R&B.
I planned to write more about these recordings, but right now I just want to get them online. They can be found in a single folder containing the four sides: HERE.
