The record
Nine sides under Roosevelt Sykes' name, back in print from Prestige in 1969 as PR 7722, a stereo reissue rather than an original pressing. The credits carry Sykes alone, with no instrument named and no accompanists listed, so the titles are what you have to go on -- 'Miss Ida B.', 'Yes Lawd', 'Pocketful Of Money'. Thin paperwork, good name.
Tracks
