Yeah, it's a real treasure. In addition to the Toots cuts, you also get 
8 live Les Thompson cuts, backed by an all star band in 1952. I had been 
interested in Les ever since hearing his great solo on Al Jarreau's 
"This Time" album (the cut is "Change Your Mind") back in 1980 and while 
there are a few other recordings of him around, they are very hard to 
find. All the more reason to seek out Toots Blues if you don't already 
have it. I just did a Froogle search and there are still a few new cd 
copies hanging around...
