Roy Brown —
Good Rocking Tonight – Legendary Recordings Vol 2 – 1947 to 1954 ... LP Route 66 (Sweden), Late 40s/Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Although Roy Brown had a slightly softer edge than some of his R&B contemporaries – he could definitely rock and wail when he wanted to, as you'll hear on this set! The set does good job of digging through Roy's work from the late 40s and early 50s, pulling together 15 tracks that mix ... (Soul, Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Butterfield Blues Band —
East West ... LP Elektra, 1966. Very Good- ... $11.99
Bo Diddley —
16 All Time Greatest Hits ... LP Checker, Late 50s/Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $19.99
If it were up to us, every song Bo recorded would have been a hit – because they're all so great! This album does a pretty good job of sorting out the best numbers, though – picking 16 tracks from his all-great albums for Chess – with a focus on the tightest and most groove-heavy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(60s checker piece label pressing. Cover has some surface wear and aging.)
Bo Diddley —
Got My Own Bag Of Tricks ... LP Chess, Late 50s/1960s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $24.99
A nice little collection of Bo Diddley's earlier work for Chess – put together in the early 70s, when Bo was in his Black Gladiator phase, as pictured on the cover – but featuring the rawer, rougher grooves of his initial recordings in the late 50s and early 60s! The Bo Diddley groove ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

(Stereo pressing. Cover has light wear. Label has a trace of sticker.)
Lightnin Hopkins —
Lightnin' Hopkins ... LP Folkways, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... $39.99
A late 50s session, but an album that captures Lighnin Hopkins in a rootsy style that could well hearken back to the 78rpm blues records of the 30s – thanks to production by Samuel B Charters, who captured Hopkins alone making music in his apartment in Houston! The tracks have that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Early 90s Smithsonian Folkways pressing. Cover has tiny scrapes in back at the spine.)

Howlin Wolf —
More Real Folk Blues ... LP Chess, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A much earlier set of tracks than the first volume of Real Folk Blues from Howlin Wolf – mostly material recorded in the mid 50s, both in Chicago and Memphis – all with a really nitty gritty sort of feel! There's a rough and rootsy mode going on here – one that has Wolf's raspy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 80s French blue fade label pressing. Cover has light wear and is bent a bit at the edges.)
Mississippi John Hurt —
Last Sessions ... LP Vanguard, 1972. Near Mint- ... $29.99

Etta James —
At Last (Original Chess Masters) ... LP Chess/MCA, 1960. Near Mint- ... $39.99
An amazing step forward for the young Etta James – a singer who was delivering a raw, shouting form of R&B just a few years before – but who here ascends into soul music heaven with her famous work on the album! The title cut is the stuff of legend – played and played, again ... (Soul, Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(80s pressing. Cover has light ringwear and a scrape in front.)
BB King —
Let Me Love You ... LP Kent, 1964. Very Good+ ... $13.99

BB King —
Midnight Believer ... LP ABC, 1978. Very Good+ ... $9.99
One of the most tightly-produced of BB King's albums for MCA, but a set that's still filled with undeniable charm – and which really shows King more than able to step up to some well-deserved superstardom! There's a bit of an LA finish to the backings, but things are never too smooth – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow label pressing. Includes the printed inner sleeve. Cover has light ring & edge wear.)

John Mayall —
Back To The Roots ... LP Polydor, 1971. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $14.99
John Mayall's definitely getting back to his roots here – and he's also getting help from an all-star cast as well! Mayall's vocals and piano are in fine form – almost with a rough-edged Blues Breakers sort of vibe, but sometimes a bit funkier too – in ways that strongly show the ...

(In the textured cover, in fantastic shape! Includes the booklet and Polydor inner sleeves.)
John Mayall —
Blues From Laurel Canyon ... LP London, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99
British blues meets LA's Laurel Canyon – a trans-Atlantic (or is it Pacific?) blend that makes for one of John Mayall's most compelling albums of the 60s! The album was recorded after the breakup of the Blues Breakers group – but it still features strong support from Mick Taylor on ... (Rock, Blues) read more LP, Vinyl record album
