McKinney's Cotton Pickers play "Blues Sure Have Got Me". Fine arrangement by Don Redman.
This is a master vinyl 78, pressed up in the 1990s from the original metal master. The original American 78 issue (Victor 40-0116) is a dub. The Canadian issue (Victor 62-0084, purple label) is a master pressing
I have changed the contrast of the label as the video plays so that you can more clearly see the engravings made in the original master. The title engraved on the master has been shortened to "Blues Got Me"!
