Brunswick announces as forthcoming a Red Nichols album, featuring the early work of Jack Teagarden, Benny Goodman, Joe Sullivan, Babe Rusin and others. Also a Pine-Top Smith album, with four sides by the supposed originator of b--g--e--w--g--c, one of which has not been reissued before. It is a pity that the only really issued before.
