Mint Condition Smokestack Lightnin’/Going Down Slow This rare 1964 promo recording is part of a recently-discovered cache of demos, acetates and other records from the BBC. The A side is Wolf’s seminal R&B hit Smokestack Lightnin’ featuring the eery guitar of Hubert Sumlin while the B side is a wonderful cover of St Louis Jimmy’s slow blues classic which Wolf made his own.
