I know Iry Lejeune could do the impossible on a CA, Wade, but recording in 1957 !?
He died in 1955!!

Good catch. According to the archives at UNC, the records show Ed recorded them earlier and then released them much later, which is what I should have said. I believe Shuler talks about this in an interview.

"After he got killed, I threw all his records back in the corner and forgot about it, ‘cause I heard when one of them died, you couldn’t give his records away. Well, a couple of years later, maybe not that long, they come around here and want to hear Iry’s records. Some of ‘em were six foot two, weighed 280 pounds...I’d get one of the records out and play it, and stand up there and cry like a baby. I started reissuing his records then. " -Ed Shuler

I assume the listing shows the re-issue date. I'll make the correction. Thanks! :D
