  • Description

    With this 8 CD box set you get a front seat to shows in the vibrant blues clubs of Chicago in the 70's. These energetic and raw live recordings capture both to-be-legendary performers and others who never made the big time.

    The artists include Magic Slim, Jimmy Dawkins, Big Mojo Elem, Jimmy Johnson, Luther Johnson Jr., Eddie Clearwater and Bobby King and many, many among others.

    The recordings were made by the french blues afficionado Marcelle Morgantini on reel-to-reels and with this remastered edition the sound is better than ever. A 24 page booklet with performance photos, details about the performing personnel and the story behind the recordings are included.
