Chris Barber brought all of these artists to England in the late '50s on his own dime, and is highly responsible for the British blues revival and onset of the British Invasion of pop music. Without Chris bringing Rosetta, Sonny, Brownie, Muddy, and many other to the UK, there would probably be no Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, and Clapton. All of these artists mark the UK concerts with Chris Barber as among the most influential musical moments in the British music world. These recordings are among the most important releases of the 20th century. I would be overjoyed to have a copy of Vol 1, as I am a big Sister Rosetta fan and am currently involved in putting a memorial at her unmarked gravestie in Philadelphia.
