Maybe it wasn't on Chess/Checker. Maybe on Lil Wally's label. Just now I copied and enlarged the pic of that album cover; got too blurry, but I don't recognise the logo. Anyone else?
Love to hear the Toots stuff on Chess anyhow.

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.
