The "Saydisc Matchbox Blues Series"
SDR 190, SDX 207/8, SDR 213, SDR 216, SDM 223 and SDM 227 do not have mention of the series on sleeves, though the labels include the usual "Saydisc Matchbox Blues Series" logo (as do, probably accidentally, most of the records in the "Matchbox Country Series").
Blues Like Showers of Rain (SDM 142)
Blues Piano Vol. 1 (SDR 146)

Those Cake Walking Babies from Home Vol. 1 (SDR 182)
This became Vol. 1 of the "Ragtime, Cakewalk and Stomps" series on release of Vol. 2 in that series; interestingly, the other three volumes in this subsequent series are Saydisc releases rather than Matchbox.
