Complete Chess/Checker discographies have been published. it would be possible 

to verify.

By the way, one thign you *will* find in such a discography is a few sides 

featuring Toots Thielemans with Willie Dixon and Lafayette Leake, sometime in 

the late 1950s. Never released to my knowledge, but documented in a Downbeat 

Magazine photo shoot.

Well, I've never heard this pairing mentioned. There's nothing about it, that I 

recall, in the book on Walter. However, Lil' Wally seems real enough:

Not impossible, but highly unlikely....seen some funny ones over the 

years....George Jones and Gene Pitney.....yes....weird enough....tell me more!

It's not a joke. It was labeled Little Walter's rarest album.
