BB King in London – not playing live, but working in the studio with a host of British musicians he'd inspired over the years!

(Ghent reissue. Cover has small stickers.)
ABC, 1975. Very Good ... $2.99
Brilliant later work by Bobby Blue Bland – done with backings that are much fuller than on his earlier albums – a mixture of strings and horns that really expand the sound!

Bluesway/ABC, 1969. Very Good+ ... $5.99
An unusual little album for Jimmy Witherspoon – much more down-home than most of his earlier recordings, in a style that's got a rootsy feel that's quite unusual, especially given that Jimmy was always equal parts blues and jazz singer on other sets. The move seems to be a clear attempt to ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Modern/Ace (UK), Late 40s/Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $4.99
Early work from Jimmy Witherspoon – but the kind of sides that show that Jim had something different to offer, even from the start!
