From James "Stump" Johnson's first recording session in Long Island City, New York in early 1929, we have an original tune called The Snitchers Blues.
Johnson sometimes performed under the stage name Snitcher Roberts, so the title of the tune is self-referential.
A percussive effect is heard throughout the song - perhaps this is Mr. Johnson tapping his foot on the floor to keep time?
The song ends abruptly at 2:50 with Johnson exclaiming "What? Well Give me another drink, then - that's all right then." The session engineers wisely kept this informal interjection in the released recording.
The flip side, "The Duck Yas-Yas-Yas" is the more well-known side - and I couldn't find another transfer of this B-side anywhere on YouTube, so I figured I'd get this one out there to enjoy. If there is interest, I'll transfer the A-side as well.
Recently won this rare QRS disc on eBay for $13 - as the record has a well-repaired crack and I guess that scared other bidders off. Otherwise in great shape - and my de-clicking filter took the tick right out.
Recorded in New York City circa January 1929.
Released as QRS R.7049 and Paramount 12842.
