[engl] This is a phenomenal collection of the greatest hits of the most popular blues singer & guitarist of all time. This B.B. King compilation concentrates on nothing but his US chart hits between 1951 & 1960. This selection features several No. 1s and many tracks that made the Billboard Top 10. Such was his popularity that many of these hits were both sides of the same single. B. B. King was always a good buy for the jukebox industry because he had a reputation for usually releasing singles with two equally great sides and they are all here.

[engl] EARL HOOKER would undoubtedly have gone on to enjoy a major international career during the Blues/Rock era, had he been blessed with better health; but he sadly died in 1970, at the age of only forty. A cousin of John Lee Hooker, Earl was an exceptional slide player, known widely as 'The guitarists' guitarist'. He recorded few vocals as he was hindered by a stutter, to compensate, he concentrated on developing his playing technique. This compilation focuses on his earliest recordings between 1953-62, several of which were not commercially released until after his death.

[engl] One thing is certain about the idiosyncratic J. B. Lenoir, he was a true original. No one ever sounded quite like him and despite comparisons by some writers to Arthur Crudup his high pitched vocals were pretty much unique. Although J. B. Lenoir only had one hit in the US with 'Mama Talk to Your Daughter' his influence over the British blues scene was immense. In fact John Mayall was a huge fan and he helped to get his 45s released in the UK. Rocking R&B and topical social commentary all thrown in the mix. This is Chicago blues with a twist. Let's call it Chicago blues J.B. Lenoir style.

[engl] Lightnin' Hopkins was one of the greatest and most popular authentic blues artists. These songs weren't his first recordings but they were the first released under his own name. Although he did record with other musicians and even with full bands it's these acoustic classics that best illustrate his art and they are some of the most endearing blues tracks ever recorded. Includes the popular songs 'Katie Mae Blues', 'Short Haired Woman' and his biggest chart hit 'Shotgun Blues'. A true genius of the genre this Lightnin' Hopkins release is a must have for blues and R&B fans.

[engl] The Chicago Super Blues Revisited' is Jasmine's homage to the two superb albums 'Super Blues' and 'The Super Super Blues Band' which contained these great bluesmen playing together. Here the concept is different as these three giants of Chicago blues are not performing together. These artists personify the Chicago blues and this collection of marvellous recordings catches them before global fame took them to greater heights. Features 'You Need Love', 'I Ain't Superstitious', 'Wang-Dang-Doodle' and many superb songs that influenced the UK blues boom.
