Anniversary Series</B> limited edition 12-track mono LP,
mastered by Matt Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed
on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings. Compiled from
singles recorded between 1956 and 1965, <I>The Real Folk
Blues</I> is one of the key Howlin' Wolf Chess albums: a
concentrated run of Chicago electric blues built around that
voice, the snap and menace of Hubert Sumlin's guitar, and a
studio band that could make every cut feel raw, direct and
dangerous. The title may have been shaped by Chess Records'
mid-'60s push to reconnect blues with the folk audience, but
the sound here is pure urban voltage. The set carries some of
Wolf's most enduring recordings, including "Killing Floor",
"Tail Dragger", "Built For Comfort" and "Three Hundred
Pounds Of Joy" - sides that became foundational material for
blues and rock players alike, even if the original singles
never crossed over into the Billboard R&B charts. Housed
inside a tip-on jacket gatefold picture sleeve with liner notes
by <I>Willie Dixon</I>, factory sealed. Highly recommended) )
