Editorial Review:
"This two-disc set marks the first comprehensive domestic compilation of Charles' 1949 to 1952 output for Jack Lauderdale's Swing Time and Down Beat logos that pays proper homage to its contents." -LIVING BLUES

As the owners of the original label that recorded these Ray Charles gems, Tuff City Music Group offers the highest-quality and only legitimate collection of these recordings. Listen for their Brother Ray Swing Time tracks in the film Ray starring Jamie Foxx.
