Is it my imagination, or was there a Screaming Jay Hawkins LP on Spivey that featured jug band backing?

I guess it wasn't your imagination. Someone put a copy on ebay. It's at:
<http://cgi.ebay.com/Spivey-Presents-The-Art-of-SCREAMIN-JAY-HAWKINS_W0QQitemZ190031905984QQihZ009QQcategoryZ306QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem>
as for jug band backing, despite the presence of Washboard Doc's Trio and Nat Riddles, the seller describes it as "...jazzier (meaning, more nightclubby/intimate, longer songs, smaller backup ensemble) than the classic frothers, but more soul than anything else--notwithstanding lyrics like 'do you see that skin around your knees? I'm gonna mix that with my breakfast... I'm gonna bite the bone on the top of your head, you'll know pleasure on a stone bed.' YES: THE ONLY RECORD YOU WILL EVER NEED!"
He has a lot of fun in the listing.
Unfortunately he doesn't indicate the release number, I'm asking him after this post. It has to be at least 1041...
