A record I wanna know more about. UK issue on Pye's Marble Arch budget label having ten of the most renowned US blues artists doing one cut each - Sonny Boy Williamson, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Bo Diddley, Howlin Wolf, Memphis Slim and a few more. With tracks like "Smokestack Lightning", "Got My Mojo Working" and "Road Runner" it represents the source for the British white blues movement and many rock efforts before and after that. There must have been hundreds of covers done from those songs and thousands copying the licks, rythms and vocal style. Here are the original artists all in one place. The audio shifts a little between tracks, but it's straight on, authentic and in glorious mono - just as God intended. The back cover and labels says "An Aristocrat USA Recording". I haven't been able to figure out if it's a UK issue made from Aristocrat label '45:s or '78:s, or if there was a US original album. I also would like to know if this is the first UK or a re-make. In any case it's top numbers from the best in original shape and that's all that really matters. Early press had label as shown here and laminated flip/back cover. (SÄM*) (PÖY*)
