Slow Down With Larry Williams: The Missing and Unissued Sides

~ Release by Larry Williams (see all versions of this release, 2 available)

Annotation

Composed by single masters (at the time not issued on LP), including the rare 78rpm version of "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", and three first issued alternate takes (tracks A6, B4, B5).
That is the second issue of this bootleg (late 1970s or early 1980s).
The first one, with same cover (mid-70s), had the tracks in different order and did not include alternate takes.
