	Levee Camp Blues (#1)	4780A2	Eddie (Son) House, Fiddlin' Joe Martin, Leroy Williams, Willie Brown	9-3-1941		blues	fiddle, guitar, harmonica, vocal	Lake Cormorant	DeSoto	Mississippi	at the Clack Store		An archival source for both sides of this disc was unavailable at the time of cataloging (Spring 2018). The Library of Congress’ disc concordance states that no preservation reel was made when the rest of the collection was transferred (1968), which suggests the disc was either damaged or missing. However, the fact that the recordings have been commercially issued (see Biograph’s “The Original Library of Congress Sessions From Field Recordings 1941-1942”) argues that the disc or at least a tape transfer does survive and is simply currently (still) missing. The audio in this catalog, then, is that issued on the Biograph CD.		son fiddlin leroy willieb	blues	fiddle guitar harmonica vocal	desoto	mississippi	clack
