·     Our latest volume of Jimmy Witherspoon’s Modern recordings is much, much more than a mere ‘Best Of The Rest’ - featuring, as it does, all of the remaining unreissued Modern masters, the best of the yet-to-be-issued alternate takes, two ultra-rare gospel masters and a brace of previously-unissued ballads.""

 "

·     ‘Spoon recorded prolifically for Modern - and on several occasions - between 1947 and 1961. His early recordings show influences that range from Louis Jordan to Billy Eckstine, but always enhanced by Spoon’s own unique talent. The sides he cut for Modern include some of the very best West Coast R&B recordings of the late 1940s and early 1950s.""

 "

·     These selections are taken from the original Modern acetates and mastertapes, where available (which is almost everywhere). Where tapes and acetates were not available, pristine 78s and 45s were pressed into service for optimum audio satisfaction.""

 "

·     The balance of ‘Spoon’s Modern catalogue - represented by the sides he cut as vocalist with the Al “Cake” Wichard Sextette - will be issued in mid-2009 on a forthcoming Wichard compilation, to make available everything of importance that this blues titan cut for one of the highest profile west coast R&B imprints of them all.""
