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.

good but could have been better
The music in this 8cd box is first class, nice to see this bold release., all in all very good,however i have a few niggles , it would have been so much better to have had [jewel cases] instead of the cheap cardboard ones, also a cube box would have been better for stacking , a bit surprised to see made in china ,the quality of box excellent however ,last point is a printing mix up on cd 2 on the sleeve of [big mojo elem] it has printed [jimmy dawkins/hip lankchan] the track listings are correct but title incorrect. The correct title does not appear and seems to have been "lost"and does not turn up on any of the remaining 7 cds, music great,,,, production not 100% ,rather expensive considering points made.
