B. B. King

180 GRAM VINYL

This quintessential LP edition includes one of B.B.’s lesser known gems from his most inspired years, the splendid and eponymous album, B.B. King, which was originally released by Crown Records in the early 1960’s and has been long unavailable on vinyl. (It was retitled The Soul of B.B. King on future reissues for both the United and Custom labels).

In addition to the original album, this Vinyl Lovers collector’s edition also includes 2 bonus tracks from the same period: the instrumental “3 O’Clock Stomp,” and the soulful ballad “Trouble in Mind.”

MAXWELL DAVIS, tenor saxophone
WILLIAM GREEN, JEWELL GRANT, alto saxophone
FLOYD TURHAM, baritone saxophone
RALPH HAMILTON, bass
LLOYD GLENN, piano
JESSE SAILES, drums, among others.

Recorded in Los Angeles, California, 1955-1962.
