True, some were as much as fifteen quid though, depending on which one, Dusty Wilson 'Can't do without you' and Blind Willie Johnson 'Dark was the night cold was the ground' were both fifteen quid. The ebay blurb described them as being fully licenced reissues.

Is this the Dusty

That we don't know. My wife was just a little kid when his records came out. I was under the impression that the two Orbit labels we're not the same.

The house at that address still stands. It's one of those post war bungalows. It's not too far from Fort Street which is where my wife lived as a child. She also recalls Eddie having a practice studio right in the same area.

She was about 8 years old when her folks split. She only ever saw him a time or two after that. I asked her mother a bit about Eddie but all I ever got were curses. She passed away a couple years ago.

Her birth certificate with Eddie's name on it, some memories and the year he died is the only real info we have. 

Hi Dale,

Apologies on the delay on replying to this post as only recently came across this.

I spent the day when in Detroit with Dusty in the early 90's and he shared some studio tapes of some of his earlier recordings that I still have the recordings off, so happy to share a copy with you so do pm me. Also this is an additional recording that I don't think has been uploaded in the topic. Same backing track as "Have Some Sympathy".

Regards, Mark
