## Description

A 2-CD deluxe digibook edition featuring the iconic original 1960 compilation along with a bonus disc featuring Jimmy Reed, John Lee Hooker, Elmore James and other classic Vee-Jay artists. In the sixties, the legendary Vee-Jay label was the one of the leading independent labels specialising in music for Black Americans which built up a formidable catalogue featuring an amazing array of doo-wop, gospel, soul, rock'n'roll and of course blues. ' The Blues' was a compilation originally released in America in 1960 which contained many of the label's biggest commercial hits of the previous few years. When it was released in 1961 it was also probably the first blues compilation of its kind in the United Kingdom, introducing artists like Jimmy Reed, Jimmy Witherspoon, J.B. Lenoir and Memphis Slim to a whole new audience. Disc 2 features 21 other classic blues tracks from the label's back catalogue.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Classic tracks marred by remastering.
  

*by R***O on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 29 May 2018*

Reissue of classic Vee Jay compilation with 22 extra tracks. Only gripe is the awful remastering - harsh top end that sounds shrill and overwhelms all of the recordings. Such a shame.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Got the Blues, in a good way...
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 February 2015*

With the bonus CD this is a good way to immerse yourself into the world of blues music.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
