Blue Goose Records
Blue Goose Records was an American independent record label set up in the early 1970s by Nick Perls.
While on Blue Goose' sister label Yazoo Records, Perls compiled rare 78 rpm recordings made in the 1920s by such singers and guitarists as Charlie Patton, Blind Willie McTell, the Memphis Jug Band, Blind Blake and Blind Lemon Jefferson. On Blue Goose Records he recorded not only 'rediscovered' black blues artists like Sam Chatmon, Son House, Yank Rachell, Shirley Griffith and Thomas Shaw, but also younger blues and jazz performers including Larry Johnson, Jo Ann Kelly, Woody Mann, John Lewis, Roy Book Binder, R. Crumb & His Cheap Suit Serenaders, Rory Block and Brett Marvin and the Thunderbolts' members Graham Hine and Roger Hubbard.
Most of the Blue Goose Records albums were re-released in 2002 on CD by the Japanese record company, Air Mail Recordings.
