No other editions were found for this album.

These are the Modern/Cobra masters -- 17 cuts from the sessions Walter did with Sam Phillips in 1951, including several alternate takes. This is mostly great acoustic harp, but it does contain the songs "Have a Good Time," and "Need My Baby" with Walter playing amplified harp -- and great songs and solos these are! Worth finding. ~ Michael Erlewine, All Music Guide
