After Skip James was rediscoverd in the early 60s he went on to record an amazing body of material. These 1964 recordings recorded by Dick Spottswood are some of the best. They initially came out on Melodian which was later sold to Biograph who reissued them. Some of these recordings have been featured on other Skip James records, but Greatest Of The Delta Blues Singers is one of the rarest of Skip James releases, featuring a beautiful cover drawing of the blues legend. Skip James brings warmth to my heart and soul.

It's so easy It's so easy
Can someone list the runout of this pressing? Can you describe the thickness / lip? I have a pressing that checks all the 1st press boxes but doesn't *feel* right. Can someone check in?

I have a version of this with the Sutro Park front cover framing (see the respective images) but no SP info on the back cover - exactly like the original back - is this a repress by Melodeon (no barcode on my copy)? I bought it USED in the 1980s, Can anyone help?
