Ma Rainey Paramount Vocal 1927

Transitional labels shown, with "Electrically Recorded" to the right of spindle hole, were used briefly in early 1927. This release was first advertised in the Chicago Defender on January 8, 1927 for February release.

Numbers shown on labels are control numbers. True matrices are pressed into runouts:

Side A: 4019-2:403
Side B: 4020-1:404 or 4020-2:404

Two takes of Side B were recorded and released.

It has been suggested by Brian Rust that Ma Rainey is accompanied by Leroy Pickett (violin) and Blind Blake (guitar) on this release.
