The title of this collection, Vee Jay Screaming Blues Guitar, is a little deceptive, since Pee Wee Crayton, Bobby Parker, and L.G. McKinley, the trio of guitarists and singers represented here by sides they recorded for Chicago's Vee Jay Records in the mid- to late '50s, were all more or less cut from the T-Bone Walker mold as players, with styles that were more elegant than screaming, and what's here falls more to the smooth side of jump blues and early R&B than it does to straight blues. That said, there are some delightful tracks here, including two versions of Crayton's "The Telephone Is Ringing," his very impressive "I Found My Peace of Mind" (why this wasn't a huge hit at the time is a pure mystery), Bobby Parker's sad and slightly eerie "Blues Get Off My Shoulder," and McKinley's derivative but still pleasing "I'm So Satisfied." While nothing here rewrites the history of blues or R&B, all three of these artists deserve more attention than they've gotten over the years. (Steve Leggett, Allmusic)

There was a request for Gary Stewart, he only did about 130 studio recordings, he had some hits, but seems largly forgotten today, I'd like to have more. Here's what I've got

Angel Dust Psychedelia 1968-1972 LP @320
http://www26.zippyshare.com/v/9111957/file.html
Non-hippie devastating guitar-psych and PCP induced hard-rock!! ANGEL DUST PSYCHEDELIA is a “100% killers, no fillers” compilation featuring obscure and unknown 45s / unreleased acetates from the US, most of them released on private labels. Many local underground bands of the late 1960s-early 1970s lacked the money and/or material needed to make a full-length album, and would put out a self-released 45 instead. Record collectors and writers have been slow to understand this treasure of vintage private press singles, with music that is every bit as good as hallowed underground LPs like Mystic Siva or Boa. 14 tracks including the monster acid-punker “Time gone to waste” by Local Traffic, post-Stereo Shoestring band Red House with an unreleased track, the mega rare acetate by Matchbox from Houston, tremendous acid-psych by Dick St John and Ragweed Patch, raw hard-rock by Masque and Zoo and more. The perfect companion to those legendary 80s psych comps like Brain Shadows, Acid Dreams, Endless Journey…
Remastered sound for a stunning in-your-face heavy guitar experience. Limited to 500 copies
TRACKLIST: SIDE 1 MASALLA – Burning Feeling MATCHBOX – Metaphysical Composition OBO REED – Here By Me DICK ST JOHN – Lady Of Burning Green Jade LOCAL TRAFFIC – Time Gone To Waste RED HOUSE – Mary-Ann MASQUE – Wake Up In The Morning SIDE 2 ZOO – 4-44 RAGWEED PATCH – Burn The Midnight Oil LIFE – This Time FIRST STATE BANK – Mr Sun MASQUE – Lady Of The Land PUNCH – Death Head FLINTLOCK – Hope You’re Feeling Better

Carolina Soul Survey: The Reflection Sound Story
http://www1.zippyshare.com/v/5857413/file.html
Although they never gets the same credit as Detroit, Memphis or Philadelphia, the Carolinas were a pivotal destination on the roadmap of classic soul -- as the epicenter of the famed "beach music" scene, the region was for years a hotbed of driving, up-tempo R&B, and during the late 1960s and early 1970s also hosted a crop of small, independent soul labels. Carolina Soul Survey compiles 20 tracks from the little-known Charlotte, N.C.-based Reflection Sound label, with crisp, remastered sound and engaging liner notes; none of the songs made a dent nationally, but collectively they're a superb portrait of a label and music scene that never earned anything near the attention it truly deserved. Highlights include Louis King's "It's Your Time to Cry," Carol Humphries' "Don't Want Nobody,"" and Arthur Freeman's "Played-Out Playgirl." (Allmusic)

Gyro, is there any chance that you have The Soul Stirrers' Japanese P-Vine 2-disc set 'He's My Rock'? There's a new one being offered on Amazon that has come down in price to $1,005.55, but that's still a bit rich for my budget (haha)!
Marie
