Article needs to be rewritten[edit]

It has directly copied content from [1] and [2] -- Sy / (talk) 23:25, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It also needed to be written more encyclopedically, which I tried to do in three edits on August 5 that I wasn't logged in for. I'll check your references to see what copied material needs to be re-written. PBrain 15:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, screw it. This site is so full of articles like this that fixing one of them isn't going to make any perceptible difference. If you don't share my opinion, I ain't stopping you from fixing the article yourself. PBrain 15:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


possible addition to discography[edit]

The wiki article on Chess Records has an image of a Memphis Slim single, "Rockin the Pad", yet in the discography listed here, none of the releases are on the Chess label. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Chess1491a.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.251.169.70 (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
