Im very interested in build a nice collection of blues from the 50s to 70s and found that vinil is the way to go because the great qwuality and variety. I need help with names of the best performers and great recordings of those years. Would you help me with some titles and details of what specials recordings I need to find? thanks in advance

Here is a link to a great site which includes the more obscure blues artists and labels. This will not include the classic artists such as Muddy Waters or John Lee Hooker but certainly has a load of great labels and artists to check out. I highly recommend this site to all Agon blues fans!

Here's a good read regarding your interest in Blues.
Google....APO records Its all coming together.

As for Robert Plant and Led Zeppelin, it sure took them along time to acknowledge and pay any sort of royalties to the Blues artist they wiped their feet off on.

Jimmy Reed is one of my all time favorites.
Some of his vinyl has been re-issued.
I suggest Ebay if you don't have a local store.
It will not be hard to build a decent collection.

Crem 1 and Chashmal are both jerks, their posts have no value.
