Comments
So called edited versions of Wednesday Evening (Baby please don't go and I was begging my baby) are the original recording shortened ca 45 sec from the begining.
Bernard ”Bernie” Besman was the producer of Hooker’s singles for Modern and Sensation from 1948-1952 at United Sound Systems Studios on 5840 2nd Boulevard in Detroit, with studio owner James Siracuse’s son Joe Siracuse as engineer. From late 1952 (when Besman moved to California) Joe Bihari from Modern and Joe Siracuse took care of the productions.
