Too Late Too Late Blues 1926 - 1944
The first Document CD appeared in 1990 with DOCD-5001 “Tommy Johnson”. Three years and 150 releases later the first volume of the “Too Late, Too Late” albums appeared. The unprecedented unleashing of such a fast growing bulk of blues and gospel recordings in such a “completist” fashion inspired both fans of the music and collectors alike. Once that the great river of releases had been flowing for a while collectors began to think again about what might be hidden in the corners of their collections or had until then been regarded of no real significance. In addition there were recent and continuing finds. A Big Bill Broonzy 78 had just recently been found, having been picked up in a lot that was saved from the street where it had been left for disposal. Then there was the box of Paramount tests that had been found several years ago were made available. Collectors also began to revisit their records with more attention being paid to the recordings themselves and on many occasions found that takes that appeared on their records were not the takes that had thus far been re-issued. The question was; what to do with these gems many which had seen the light of day since they were first issued fifty or sixty years previously? It was “too late” to put them onto the original albums covering each particular artists work. The logical solution was to periodically release albums which gathered together these items; the “Too Late, Too Late” albums. Some of these recordings have been found after the main event, some where not even known to have existed until recently, everyone of them is a piece of missing treasure
