As discussed previously, somewhere around page 11, there are two Joe Hill Louis recordings, from 1952 and 1953, that were made at 706 Union. Neither were issued until decades later, and neither were known until their release.
Louis' first recording of "Tiger Man" was cut in November 1952. It surfaced on an obscure Dutch bootleg in 1975. A second unreleased recording made in September 1953, two months after Rufus Thomas Jr.'s Sun 188, first came to light on a 1985 Sun box set.
