JOHN LEE HOOKER Don't Turn Me From Your Door (Speakers Corner UK/EU limited edition 12-track LP pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl at Pallas, Germany, from the original analogue mastertapes. This reissue of Don't Turn Me From Your Door presents a stark and uncompromising set of performances from John Lee Hooker, recorded across sessions in 1953 and 1961 and originally issued on the Atco label. The album captures Hooker in a stripped-back setting, focusing on rhythm, repetition, and vocal phrasing rather than conventional blues arrangements or polished harmony. The material spans solo and small-group recordings, with contributions from Earl Hooker and Eddie Kirkland on guitar. Tracks such as "Stuttering Blues," "You Lost A Good Man," and the title song highlight Hooker's idiosyncratic approach to timing and delivery, while instrumental pieces like "Misbelieving Baby" explore mood and tension without vocals. The emphasis throughout is on direct expression, minimal accompaniment, and a deliberately raw sound. This edition is remastered using an all-analogue signal chain, from the original master tapes through to the cutting head. Recorded in mono, the album reflects Hooker's distinctive musical language at a point where blues, boogie, and spoken rhythm intersect without embellishment. Picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory sealed. Recommended).
