IN THE HISTORY OF THE BLUES, THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANYONE QUITE LIKE THE
HOWLIN’ WOLF.   THE WOLF WAS THE PRIMAL FORCE OF THE MUSIC SPUN OUT TO
ITS   ULTIMATE CONCLUSION . . . A ROBERT JOHNSON MAY HAVE   POSSESSED MORE
LYRICAL INSIGHT,   A MUDDY WATERS MORE DIGNITY,   AND A B.B. KING   CERTAINLY
MORE TECHNICAL EXPERTISE, BUT NO ONE COULD MATCH HIM FOR THE SINGULAR
ABILITY TO ROCK THE HOUSE DOWN TO THE FOUNDATION WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY
SCARING ITS PATRONS OUT OF ITS WITS.   AFTER A SHORT EXPERIENCE WITH “SUN
RECORDS” HOWLIN’ ENTERED THE “CHESS” STUDIOS IN 1952 AND HIS CAREER TOOK
A NEW AND FULLY SUCCESFULLY DIRECTION FOR MORE THAN TWO DECADES WITH
A STRING OF SUPERLATIVE SIDES AND EUROPE SAW HIM TOURING EXTENSIVELY IN
THE 1960s. THIS EXTENDED PLAY RECORD WAS ISSUED IN THE UK IN 1956 AND REMAIN
HIS MOST RARE AND COLLECTIBLE EUROPEAN PRESSING    - - -    CLEAN COPY WITH
GREAT LAMINATED COVER AND GLOSSY TRI-SIDED DISC WITH GOLD PRINT ON PLUM
BACKGROUND...PLAYS PERFECTLY WITH SLIGHT SURFACE NOISE.
