[Dixielandjazz] Bunk and Lu

[Marek Boym]

THANKS, BILL.
SO IT IS NOT ON aMERICAN mUSIC, AFTER ALL.  BUT AMERICAN MUSIC HAS
REISSUED ANOTHER BUNK GEM - BUNK JOHNSON IN SAN FRANCISCO.

PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED ONE THING: AT GHB THEY CLAIM THAT ALL
PREVIOUS ISSUES OF THE BUNK-GEORGE LEWIS BAND WERE AT THE WRONG SPEED,
TAHT HAS ONLY BEEN CORRECTED UPON TRANSFER TO AMERICAN MUSIC CDs.
THUS, THAT BAND MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY SOUNDED MUCH BETTER THAN I KNOW.
STILL, I HAVE ONE RECORD NOT ORIGINALLY ON AMERICAN MUSIC, AND IT DOES
NOT SOUND AS GOOD AS EITHER THE LATER LEWIS BAND OR THE OTHER BUNK
RECORDINGS.
CHEERS
