Description

180-gram VIRGIN VINYL - THE COMPLETE ALBUM + 2 BONUS TRACKS. For more than half a century, B. B. King defined the blues for a worldwide audience. Since he started recording in the1940s, he released over fifty albums, many of them acknowledged classics.
King of the Blues, originally issued in 1960 by Crown Records, is one such classic and a declared masterpiece by critics and musicians alike.
King's modern style, which combined rock & roll and R&B with the jump blues, was fully developed by the time of this releases, later becoming a source of inspiration and influence on other guitarist, including Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Mark Knopfler, to name just a few who have credited King as a major influencer on their own playing.

Description
The complete album + 4 bonus tracks - 180g virgin vinyl - limited edition. For more than half a century, B. B. King defined the blues for a worldwide audience. Presented here is one of his finest albums, King of the Blues, originally issued around May 1960 by the Crown label.
The label owners, the Bihari brothers (who also ran the Modern and RPM labels), were justified in their choice of an album title by King's big comeback hit Sweet Sixteen, after a year of inactivity on the charts. The album opens with the B-side of that single, I've Got a Right to Love My Baby, and includes the single Partin' Time, which rose to #8 on the charts.
