| 1 | 7/1953 | JIMMY REED and His Trio - High And Lonesome (VJ53-104) # @ youtube - Roll And Rhumba (VJ53-107) (instr) @ youtube rec. poss. June 6, 1953 at Universal Studios in Chicago, IL; Mathis Jimmy Reed, hca, # voc; John Brim, g; b; Albert King or Morris Wilkerson, dr
Bob Eagle: "Morris Wilkerson is unknown to discography apart from Reed's first session. I believe his name comes from the VJ files and that Albert [King]'s supposed presence on the first session comes from some later interview with Albert. On that basis, I suggest that Wilkerson is correct for the first session. Morris was born near Muskogee, Oklahoma in 1925 and was based at Gary, Indiana in the 1930s and again for at least a decade from 1948. He was later at Chesterton, IN. His occupation was usually mechanic, or polisher, so his flirtation with being a musician may have been very brief."

Al Duncan, dr Some of the "Vee Jay LP 1067" LPs have a factory-placed sticker at the top of the front cover with the word "STEREO", but this is nevertheless not a stereo record! The real stereo issue "Vee Jay SR 1067" has written "STEREOPHONIC" at the top of the front cover! All three versions, "Vee Jay LP 1067" (mono), "Vee Jay LP 1067" (false "STEREO") and "Vee Jay SR 1067" (stereo) mostly have the same "VJLP 1067" imprint on their labels, be they the original label (black with "rainbow-band"), black, or red labels At least some of the stereo issues ("Vee Jay SR 1067") were pressed using the mono master for side one!
