Jimmy REED - Jimmy Reed At Carnegie Hall /Best Of Jimmy Reed 1961


Jimmy REED - Jimmy Reed At Carnegie Hall /Best Of Jimmy Reed 1961
Label: Vee-Jay

Blues

This was originally issued as a vinyl double album by Vee-Jay in the early '60s. The first 12 tracks are not "live" at all (the disclaimer is in the liners) but instead are some nice middle-period studio tracks while the following dozen constitutes a "reissue" of the label's Best of Jimmy Reed album. Stereophiles will love this as the sound is Mobile Fidelity impeccable, even on the mono masters, while stereo masters of such classics as "Baby What You Want Me to Do" and "Big Boss Man" sound almost revelatory. Not the place to start (even with most of the hits aboard), but if you have to have some classic Jimmy Reed in clean stereo, this is the place to go.
